PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME
Cross-Defendants 25 Executive, LLC, Jeremy Sill, and Jesse Van Coutren (collectively, “Cross-Defendants”) demur, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 430.10, subdivisions (e) and (f), and move to strike, pursuant to sections 435 and 436, subdivision (a), to the Cross- Complaint of Julie Nguyen (“Cross-Complainant”).
“A party may amend its pleading once without leave of the court at any time . . . after a demurrer or motion to strike is filed but before the demurrer or motion to strike is heard if the amended pleading is filed and served no later than the date for filing an opposition to the demurrer or motion to strike.” (§ 472, subd. (a).)
Cross-Complainant filed a First Amended Cross-Complaint (“FACC”) prior to the date on which an opposition to the present demurrer and motion was due. There is no proof of service of the FACC appearing in the Court’s file. Presuming, however, that the FACC was timely served, the issues raised by the present demurrer and motion are MOOT.

PETITION FOR PROBATE OF WILL AND FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION WITH WILL ANNEXED AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADMINISTER UNDER THE INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES ACT
TENTATIVE RULING: There is no proof of publication on file. If a proper proof of publication is filed prior to the hearing, the petition will be GRANTED, Michael Torr will be appointed as probate referee, and the matter will be set for a Status Hearing Re: Final Distribution on May 12, 2027, at 8:30 a.m. in Dept.

However, if no publication has been made, the Court will be forced to DENY the Petition without prejudice. Publication is required to invest the Court with subject matter jurisdiction over the Estate. (Prob. C. § 8005, subd. (b)(1)(C).) Therefore, the Petition may not be heard unless and until an affidavit of publication is on file. (Prob. C. § 8124.) The first of the three required publications must be at least 15 days before the hearing. (Prob. C. §8121(a).) Finally, the hearing on the Petition must be no less than 15 days and no more than 30 days after the Petition is filed. (Prob. C. §8003(a).) For this reason, if no publication of the hearing was made, the Court is without jurisdiction to hear the Petition and cannot continue the hearing to permit Petitioner to cure the defect.
