Ruling
This matter is on calendar for hearing on a Successor Petition for Probate of Will. The will purports to give the entirety of the estate to the trustee of a trust. The Court notes the previous trustee was the Personal Representative of the estate and has passed away. Item 8 fails to identify the successor trustee of the trust. Deu to the defect, the Court is unable to determine if proper notice has been provided and the requirement of a bond properly waived. The matter is continued to Monday, June 29, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. in Department 44 for further proceedings on the Petition for Probate of Will. Petitioner is required to file an amended Petition to address the issue raised above. Petitioner is also required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date, along with a copy of the amended Petition, on all parties entitled to notice. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
