Hearing Date / Time

Wed, 07/16/2025 - 08:30

Nature of Proceedings

Compliance Review Hearing

Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Appearances required. The following documents have not been filed with the court pursuant to the Court’s order to file said documents on August 26, 2024:

Proof of Recording Letters of Conservatorship (Prob. Code, § 2313). A conservator of the estate shall record a certified copy of the letters with the county recorder’s office in each county in which the conservatee owns an interest in real property, including a security interest. The conservator shall record the letters as soon as practicable after they are issued, but no later than 90 days after the conservator is appointed.

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to submit the required documents listed in the previous Conservator Compliance Order is a breach of fiduciary duty as a conservator, and can result in removal as conservator and surcharge. (Prob. Code, § 2650(c).)  If you are removed from office, a successor conservator will be appointed and will be entitled to collect fees. The death of the conservatee does not relieve a conservator of the duty to cure the deficiencies from the previous hearings.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: Sanctions were discussed for a violation of a court order that was violated far before the May 28^th date cited in paragraph 4 of the recent status update. The reason letters had not been issued before that date, is because simple guidance was not followed in two bond reject letters issued for failure to comply with CCP procedure executing the bond.

Appearances:

The court is open to the public for court business. The court is also conducting hearings via Zoom videoconference.
