Probate Notes:
Appearances required.
This hearing was set to ensure timely filing of a Petition for Final Distribution by the administrator, who was appointed on December 16, 2024. Probate Code section 8800 requires that within four months after letters first issued, a Final Inventory and Appraisal must be filed. Probate Code section 12202 further requires a Petition for Final Distribution be on file within 12 months after appointment.
There is neither a Final Inventory and Appraisal on file, nor a Petition for Final Distribution on file.
It is recommended the Court issue an Order to Show Cause why the Personal Representative should not be removed, and the Public Administrator be appointed to bring this estate to a close.
