ON THE COURT'S OWN MOTION DUE TO LACK OF JUDICIAL COVERAGE, THE COURT WILL HEAR THIS MATTER ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2026, AT 8:30 A.M. IN DEPARTMENT NINE. THERE WILL BE NO HEARING ON AUGUST 17, 2026. Letters of Administration were issued On October 6, 2025, granting Petitioner full authority under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.
A Final Inventory and Appraisal was filed on February 18, 2026. At the time the inventory and appraisal was filed, the change of ownership statement with the county recorder or assessor in each county where the decedent owned real property at the time of death, as provided in section 480 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, was filed.
Waivers of Account were executed by all of the heirs entitled to distributions under the estate.
Proof of Service of Notice of the hearing on the Petition was filed on July 8, 2026. No one has filed a request for special notice in this proceeding.
The proposed distribution of the estate includes one hundred percent to Petitioner.
Per Local Rule 10.07.12 Petitions for final distribution must include a report of the following: 1. That no federal or California estate taxes are payable or that they have been paid; 2. That income taxes and all other taxes (e.g. supplemental real property taxes or personal property taxes, if any, have been paid or otherwise provided for. If estate taxes are payable or paid: 1) the petition shall set forth whether said taxes were prorated pursuant to Probate Code section 20100, et seq., or the provisions of the will; and 2) the petition must reflect whether or not there are non-probate assets includable in the gross estate for estate tax purposes.
Petitioner confirms that no federal or California estate taxes are payable, nor are any California or federal income or personal property taxes payable. Petitioner states no claims were filed against the estate and all debts of the decedent and of the estate have been paid; however, U.S. Bank National Association filed two Creditor’s Claims on December 4, 2025. It is unclear whether these claims have been satisfied. Additionally, U.S. Bank was not served with Notice of the Hearing.
