Probate Notes:

Appearances required.

An Accounting is overdue (See Prob. Code, § 2620).  No accounting has been filed for review.  The Court ordered the accounting on September 18, 2023.  According to the order, the Accounting should have been filed for review by November 19, 2023, which was 15 days before the hearing originally set to review the accounting.  Sanctions are now warranted, but only recommended if no good cause appears for the delay.

As the Court’s representative, the Court Investigator is required to visit the conservatee to make advisements and determine ongoing need in accordance with Probate Code section 1851. The Court Investigator must be served with a copy of the accounting. In Santa Maria, it should be sent to 312-C E. Cook Street, Santa Maria, CA 93454. In Santa Barbara, it should be sent to 118 E. Figueroa, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.
