Nature of Proceedings

Petition for Internal Affairs of a Trust

Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Appearances required.

The Petition for Internal Affairs was filed on October 7, 2025.  No objection was filed.

Any Respondents desirous to object to the Petition, must file a written objection before the hearing.  The court has authority to require all objectors to file a written objection pursuant CRC, Rule 7.801, or else deem the failure to do so a waiver.

The following procedural defects must be remedied before the hearing:

Trust Instrument.  A copy of the trust, and all accompanying amendments, must be submitted for review. (Local Rule, 1791(c).)

Proof of Service of Petition (Form DE-120).  There is no proof of service on file.  “At least 30 days before the time set for the hearing on the petition, the petitioner shall cause notice of hearing to be delivered pursuant to Section 1215 to all of the following persons: (1) All trustees. (2) All beneficiaries, subject to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 15800) of Part 3. (3) The Attorney General, if the petition relates to a charitable trust subject to the jurisdiction of the Attorney General.” (Prob. Code, § 17203.)

Proposed Order (Local Rule, 1731.) – Petitioner must submit a proposed order outlining the exact relief requested in the petition.

It is recommended that the matter be continued to a date 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 1701(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).

Appearances:

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