Case Type Decedent's Estate Hearing Date / Time Mon, 07/06/2026 - 08:30 Nature of Proceedings

Petition for Letters of Administration Tentative Ruling Probate Notes: Nomination of Administrator. Petitioner is a stranger to the estate, thus is not an interested person in the estate, and has no priority of administration over Sarah Wegner, or any other person related to the Decedent by the table of consanguinity pursuant to Probate Code section 8461.

Please submit a verified supplement: Listing all knows relatives of the decedent to the second degree of consanguinity. Explaining in detail the relationship between Decedent and Sarah Wegner, including the details of her adoption, which of her natural parents' spouse adopted her, and whether that adoption has any effect on Sarah Wegner's right to take from this estate. Proof of Adoption should be submitted.

If Sarah Wegner takes from this estate, a nomination from her is required, because she has greater priority than the proposed "aunt-in-law." If any other persons on the table of consanguinity are identified, a nomination from them is also required. 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.)

If the documents curing these deficiencies are not processed by 8:00 a.m. on July 4, 2026, 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).
