Case Type

Guardianship

Hearing Date / Time

Tue, 11/12/2024 - 09:00

Nature of Proceedings

Petition for Appointment of Guardian of Estate

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 Paternal Grandparents, 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).

Proposed Order re: Blocked Account. Absent a showing of good cause, it is the policy of the Court to block all funds in a guardianship estate pursuant to Probate Code section 2456. The fact that a parent is appointed as guardian of the estate does not constitute good cause for waiving this policy. (Local Rule 1735(a).)  Therefore, a Proposed Order to Deposit Money Into Blocked Account (MC-355) is required to be submitted.

Appearances:

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