Petition for Appointment of Successor Personal Representative

Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Appearances required.

The petition is recommended for approval, with a reduction to the requested reserve.  Petitioner gives no reason for such a large reserve request, and such a request is evidence that the estate may not be in a condition to be closed, if such a reserve is truly needed.

It is recommended the Court require evidence to justify the reserve or reduce the reserve to $1,000.
