Fraud Alert: Scam Text Messages Claiming DMV Penalties -

We have been made aware of fraudulent text messages being sent to individuals claiming to be from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or the court system. These messages often state that the recipient owes penalties or fees related to traffic violations or DMV infractions and may include a link or phone number to resolve the matter. 

Take these steps to reduce the chances of falling victim to a text message scam:

  • Never respond to unsolicited or suspicious texts — If you receive a message asking for personal or financial information, do not reply.
  • Verify the source — If you are unsure, always contact the DMV through official channels.
  • Call the DMV if you have concerns — The DMV customer service team is available to help you at 800-777-0133.

Jury Scam alert -

The Santa Barbara Superior Court has received complaints about individuals trying to scam members of the public by pretending to be court officers or officials. The Jury Services office of the Santa Barbara Superior Court does not call citizens to request payments for failing to appear for jury duty. California law does not permit citizens to pay a fine in lieu of jury duty. If you receive such a call simply hang up and, if the scammer persists, call your local law enforcement agency. Learn more about the recent scam warning.

Notice to Jurors:

Prospective jurors summoned for jury service can expect to receive their jury summons in postcard form. Please check your mail for a postcard with important instructions to fulfil your jury service. Visit the Jury Services page for more information.

Nature of Proceedings

Petition for Final Distribution

Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Appearances required.  Failure to appear will result in denial.

The following defects must be corrected before the hearing:

Proof of Service of Notice of Hearing (Form DE-120) for petition.  Amended petitions must be served in the same manner as the original petition. (CRC. Rule 7.53(a).) The amended petition filed on March 26, 2024, was not served on any person entitled to notice.  Neither was the supplement filed on November 29, 2023.  Supplements must be service on all persons entitled to notice of the petition.  (CRC, Rule 7.53(b).)

Notice must be given 15 days prior to hearing, served on all known heirs and devisees, as well as on the Personal Representative (if not the petitioner) and special notice requestors.  (Prob. Code, §§ 11601 & 1220.) Notice must be sent to the person, not the person’s representative. (§1220.)

Since neither the Amended petition, nor the supplement to the previous petition has been served, the Court cannot consider them at this hearing.

Proposed Order.  The proposed order on Local Form SC-6029, submitted February 21, 2024, does not match the relief requested in the amended petition. The proposed order should be corrected and re-submitted.
