8. CAROLYN P. RENTSCH V. TODD W. RENTSCH PFL20130845

On March 27, 2026, Respondent filed a Request for Order (RFO) seeking an interspousal transfer deed. This is a post-judgment request and as such all required documents were personally served on April 17, 2026.

Respondent filed a declaration on May 27th, however there is no Proof of Service for this document therefore the court has not read or considered it.

Petitioner has not filed a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order. Where a party fails to timely file opposition papers the court, in its discretion, may treat said failure “as an admission that the motion or other application is meritorious.” El Dorado County, Local Rule 7.10.02(C). Here, the RFO was timely and properly served. Petitioner was aware of the requests therein and chose not to file an opposition. As such, the court deems her failure to do so as an admission that the requests in the RFO have merit.

According to the RFO, Respondent is seeking a judgment to have Petitioner’s name removed from the Lake County property located at APN 050-480-10-00 and Mendicino County APN 011-005-091-000 per the divorce agreement.

After reviewing the filings and the documents submitted by Respondent, the court does find grounds to grant the requests pending before it. Petitioner is ordered to sign grant deeds transferring her interests in the Lake County property (APN 050-480-10-00) and the Mendicino County property (APN 011-005-091-000) to Respondent.

Respondent is directed to prepare the Findings and Orders After Hearing (FOAH); however, this order is effective immediately upon the court’s adoption of the tentative ruling and is not conditioned on the preparation of the FOAH.

TENTATIVE RULING #8: PETITIONER IS ORDERED TO SIGN GRANT DEEDS TRANSFERRING HER INTERESTS IN THE LAKE COUNTY PROPERTY (APN 050-480-10-00) AND THE MENDICINO COUNTY PROPERTY (APN 011-005-091-000) TO RESPONDENT.

RESPONDENT IS DIRECTED TO PREPARE THE FINDINGS AND ORDERS AFTER HEARING (FOAH); HOWEVER, THIS ORDER IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON THE COURT’S ADOPTION OF THE TENTATIVE RULING AND IS NOT CONDITIONED ON THE PREPARATION OF THE FOAH.

NO HEARING ON THIS MATTER WILL BE HELD UNLESS A REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT IS TRANSMITTED ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE COURT’S WEBSITE OR
