Confirmation of filing Inventory and Appraisal; Status of Administration; Order to Show Cause Re: Monetary Sanctions
CASE NUMBER: 24PB-0032590 This matter is on calendar for confirmation of filing the Inventory and Appraisal and Status of Administration. This matter is also on calendar for hearing on an Order to Show Cause Re: Monetary Sanctions issued to the Personal Representative and Counsel for failure to timely file the Inventory and Appraisal, failure to timely close the estate administration, and failure to file a Status Report as ordered on February 23, 2026, and April 6, 2026.
The Final Inventory and Appraisal filed on July 21, 2026, is accepted by the Court. A Status Report has been filed, however there is no proof of service of the Notice of Hearing for any parties entitled to notice. The Status Report indicates that additional time is needed before the estate administration can be finalized. Considering the filing of the Inventory and Appraisal and Status Report, the Court will VACATE the Order to Show Cause and will not impose sanctions. The matter is continued to Monday, July 26, 2027, at 2:30 p.m. in Department 44 for Status of Administration.
If a Petition for Final Distribution cannot be filed prior to the next hearing, the Court ORDERS the Personal Representative to timely file and serve a Status Report with proper Notice of Hearing in compliance with Probate Code Section 12200 et seq. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of an Order to Show Cause Re: Monetary Sanctions of $250.00 for failure to timely close the estate administration and failure to comply with the Court’s order. If a properly noticed Status Report or Petition for Final Distribution is noticed for a different date, the Court will vacate the July 26, 2027, date.
No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
