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.

Probate Notes:

Personal appearances (no Zoom) required by all parties and counsel.

On March 4, 2024, Yolanda Aguirre and Jorge Aguirre filed a Petition for Temporary Appointment of Guardian and General Appointment of Guardian. The first hearing on that petition (March 19, 2024) was of no moment, because of several procedural defects affecting Due Process.  The matter was continued to April 2, 2024.  That petition received written objection by Alyssia Hansen, the Biological Mother of the minor at issue.  That objection places this matter at issue, requiring evidentiary hearing to resolve.  . (In re Estate of Lensch (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 667, 676; Conservatorship of Farrant (2021) 67 Cal.App.5th 370, 377.)

On May 20, 2024, Josh Colgate filed a competing Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Person.  That matter is set for hearing on July 16, 2024.  There is no written objection on file to Mr. Colgate’s petition.

Parties must come prepared to set dates for trial. Parties must come prepared to articulate discovery needs and deadlines.
