GUARDIANSHIP OF KLEARWATER BAMFORD

CASE NUMBER: 26PG-0033407 This matter is on calendar for hearing on a Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Person. The Petition was filed by the minor’s aunt, Amber Ibarra. Letters of Temporary Guardianship issued on June 1, 2026, and are set to expire today unless further extended.

The minor has consented to the guardianship. The Court dispenses with notice to the deceased maternal grandmother. There is no proof of service of the Notice of Hearing and Petition for the mother, father, maternal grandfather, paternal grandparents, or siblings. Insufficient information has been provided to permit the Court to dispense with notice to these parties. The parents must

be personally served in order to move forward on the Petition. Prob. Code § 1511(b). All other parties may be served by mail. Prob. Code § 1511(c). Alternatively, the above parties can sign a consent and waiver of notice (GC-211, section 4), in lieu of being served.

The Court has reviewed the Court Investigator’s report filed July 1, 2026, which recommends granting the Petition. ICWA notification has been properly given, and no tribe has requested to intervene in this matter.

This matter is continued to Monday, August 17, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42 for further proceedings on the Petition. The Temporary Guardianship is ORDERED to remain in effect until the continued hearing date. Petitioner is required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date, along with a copy of the Petition, on the parties identified above. In the alternative, if Petitioner cannot serve the parties identified, the Court will require a declaration explaining in detail all efforts of Petitioner to locate and serve them and why they cannot be served, to permit the Court to dispense with notice. Warning: Failure to properly effect service or provide adequate basis to dispense with service as to the necessary parties will result in denial of the Petition. Notice is preserved. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
