Nature of Proceedings

Petition for Letters of Administration

Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

The following must be submitted:

Attorney Signature.  The Petition must be verified by Petitioner (Prob. Code, § 1021) and signed by attorney (CCP, § 128.7).  The petition in this case was not signed by the named attorney, and the third supplement does not solve the problem. Please resubmit the petition with the proper signature.

Nomination of Administrator.  Petitioner does not have priority of administration over Karlfranz Van Baas or Bob Babulas pursuant to Probate Code section 8461. Please submit a nomination from all those with equal or greater priority. There is no written declination on file.  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 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.

 

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).
