Probate Notes:

The following must be submitted:

                                       

Waivers of Bond. Bond must be waived by all adult heirs at law. Petitioner must file bond waivers (Form DE-142) for all heirs.  There is no bond waiver on file for Ronald Williams, Jr, and the bond waiver on file for Hansjorg Fromherz is not on the mandatory Judicial Council form, DE-142.

Please submit bond waivers for both heirs on Judicial Council form DE-142.

Nomination of Administrator.  Petitioner does not have priority of administration over Ronald Williams pursuant to Probate Code section 8461. Please submit a nomination from all those with equal or greater priority. A written declination must be filed by or on behalf of an individual who is entitled to priority for issuance of Letters of administration but does not desire to act, or evidence must be produced that the person with priority is not competent under Probate Code section 8402 or refuses to act. (Local Rule 1752(d)1.)

Proposed Order (Form DE-140).  A proposed order must be submitted with relief that matches that requested in the petition.  No such document was filed with the court.

Proposed Letters (Form DE-150).  Proposed letters must be submitted with relief that matches that requested in the petition.  No such document was filed with the court.

If the documents curing these deficiencies are not processed by 8:00 a.m. on March 10, 2025, it is recommended that the matter be continued to a date to be set by the Court at the hearing, unless the party appears and requests a different date, or submits a request for a different continuance date prior to the hearing. (Local Rule 1721(c)(2)(A-B).) If the matter is continued, documents must be submitted at least 10 days prior to the new hearing date to be considered.

 

Due to staffing limitations, processing times may be delayed. To assist in processing, attorneys and parties should include the next court date in the “Filing Description” field provided by the electronic service provider. That field is also used for further descriptions of the document being e-filed, so be sure to put the calendar date FIRST in the field – BEFORE any further description of the document being e-filed (e.g.: 06/28/16 For XYZ).
