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.
