Santa Barbara County - Judge Denise M. Hippach - 20260714 Tentative Ruling: Estate of Lewis Alonza Hamilton Tentative Ruling: Estate of Lewis Alonza Hamilton Case Number 22PR00369 Case Type Decedent's Estate Hearing Date / Time Wed, 06/17/2026 - 09:30 Nature of Proceedings Petition for Final Distribution Tentative Ruling Probate Notes: Appearances required.

The following is noted for the Court at the hearing: Apportionment of Fees. According to Declaration on file with the Court, the statutory fee will be apportioned by the Public Guardian and Mr. Black 50/50. It is recommended the Court approve this agreement and make the order.

Guardianship of Dalaney Hamilton. According to the initial pleading filed in this case, Dalaney Hamilton is a minor, aged 12-13, and is represented by her mother as guardian ad litem, who was either divorced or never married to the decedent. Dalaney Hamilton is entitled to 33 and 1/3 percent of the estate, which includes a sizable value in real property. This requires a guardianship over the estate be established. (CRC, Rule 7.950, Prob. Code, Sec.Sec.3600-3613.)

No petition for guardianship over the estate is on file. There is a petition to be appointed Guardian ad litem on file as of April 9, 2026, but that petition is not what the Court required. The Court should not approve Final Distribution until the Guardianship over the estate is established.
