Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Appearances required.  The following must be submitted:

Proof of Timely Mailed Service.  Proof of timely mailed service of the notice of hearing and a copy of the petition (Prob. Code, § 1511) on Brisa Pizana, OR Consent to Appointment of Guardian and Waiver of Notice (Judicial Council form GC-211) OR adequately supported request to dispense with notice (CRC 7.52; see Local Court form SC-6014).

Since Brisa Pizana is 12 years old, she must be given notice.  Notice is not required to any child under 12 if (1) notice is given to a parent, guardian, or other person having legal custody, with whom the child resides, or (2) the petition is brought by a parent, guardian, or other person having legal custody of the child, with whom the child resides. (Prob. Code, §1460.1.)

This defect can be overcome by the appearance of Brisa Pizana at the hearing.
