Petition for Final Distribution
Case Number
Case Type Decedent's Estate Hearing Date / Time Tue, 06/02/2026 - 09:00 Nature of Proceedings Petition for Final Distribution Tentative Ruling Probate Notes: The following must be submitted: Proof of Service of Notice of Hearing (Form DE-120).
There is no proof of service of Notice of Hearing on Ashley Owens. Notice must be given 15 days prior to hearing, served on all known heirs and devisees, as well as on the Personal Representative (if not the petitioner) and special notice requestors. (Prob. Code, Sec.Sec. 11601 & 1220.) Notice must be sent to the person, not the person's representative. (Sec.1220.) No such document was filed.
New Proposed Order. A proposed order must be submitted with relief that matches that requested in the petition (Local Rule 1724(b), subd.(d)) and contains the proper language outlined in the Probate Code at Part 10 of Division 7, so the court can make the requisite findings and orders required to close out the estate and order final distribution. The proposed order does not meet the requirements of Part 10, thus the use of Local Form SC-6029 is required.
If the documents curing these deficiencies are not processed by 8:00 a.m. on June 1, 2026, it is recommended that the matter be continued to a date to be set by the Court at the hearing, unless the party appears and requests a different date, or submits a request for a different continuance date prior to the hearing. (Local Rule 1721(c)(2)(A-B).) If the matter is continued, documents must be submitted at least 10 days prior to the new hearing date to be considered.
Due to staffing limitations, processing times may be delayed. To assist in processing, attorneys and parties should include the next court date in the "Filing Description" field provided by the electronic service provider. That field is also used for further descriptions of the document being e-filed, so be sure to put the calendar date FIRST in the field - BEFORE any further description of the document being e-filed (e.g.: 06/28/16 For XYZ).
Appearances: The court is open to the public for court business. The court is also conducting hearings via Zoom videoconference. Meeting ID: 160 543 3416 Passcode: 5053334
