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: The following must be submitted: Nomination of Administrator.

Petitioner does not appear to have priority of administration over Sarah Wegner pursuant to Probate Code section 8461. Please submit supplement 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." 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).)
