Tentative Ruling

Probate Notes:

Appearances required.

The following must be submitted:

Proof of Timely Mailed Service.  Proof of timely mailed service of the notice of hearing and a copy of the petition (Prob. Code, § 1511) on paternal grandparents and siblings of the proposed ward, OR Consent to Appointment of Guardian and Waiver of Notice (Judicial Council form GC-211) OR adequately supported request to dispense with notice (CRC 7.52; see Local Court form SC-6014).

Adequate ICWA inquiry.  Inquiry on both sides of the family is required. (CRC, Rule 5.481(a).)  A relative from the paternal side of the proposed ward’s family must complete the Parental Notification of Indian Status (form ICWA-020). If the parents are available, this can be done before the first hearing. If not done before the first hearing and these people appear at the hearing, the court should order the parents, Indian custodian, or guardian to complete form ICWA-020 at that time. If form ICWA-020 is not yet completed and the parents and/or Indian custodian or guardian do not appear at the first hearing, the court will order the petitioners to use reasonable diligence to find the parents, Indian custodian, or guardian; advise them that the court has ordered them to complete form ICWA-020; and have them complete the form.

Petitioner may contact the Probate Facilitator at 805-614-6622 or 805-614-6413 (Español) for assistance with resolving these service issues.
