Nature of Proceedings

First Accounting and Report of Guardian

Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Each guardianship estate must be reviewed by the court 1 year after initiated and thereafter no less frequently than 2 years.  (Prob. Code, § 2620.)

Whenever the guardian has failed to file an accounting as required by Probate Code section 2620, the court shall require that written notice be given to the guardian and the attorney of record for the guardian directing the guardian to file an accounting and to set the accounting for hearing before the court within 30 days of the date of the notice or, if the guardian is a public agency, within 45 days of the date of the notice. The court may, upon cause shown, grant an additional 30 days to file the accounting. (Prob. Code, § 2620.2.)

Failure to file the accounting within the time specified under subdivision (a), or within 45 days of actual receipt of the notice, whichever is later, shall constitute a contempt of the authority of the court as described in Section 1209 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Since there is no accounting on file in this case, a Notice to File Accounting pursuant to Probate code section 2620.2 will be sent to the conservator. It is recommended the Court continue the hearing for 30 days.

Appearances:

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