CASE NUMBER: 25PB-0033060 This matter is on calendar for hearing on the First and Final Report of Administrator on Waiver of Account and Petition for Final Distribution. The matter has been properly noticed with proof of service on file. No objections have been raised. A waiver of account has not been submitted for the heir, Carol Van Pelt. The Court notes the basis for calculating statutory compensation is incorrect and fails to account for the gains and losses on sale. The total basis for calculating statutory compensation is $273,222.51 (Inventory and Appraisal $263,452.51 + gains on sales $10,250 – losses on sales 450).
This results in compensation payable to the Personal Representative and Counsel of $8,464.45. As the resulting statutory compensation is a higher than the amount requested in the Petition, the Court will overlook the defect. The matter is continued to Monday, July 6, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. in Department 44 for further proceedings regarding the First and Final Report of Administrator on Waiver of Account and Petition for Final Distribution. The requirement of an accounting must be properly waived or completed.
Petitioner is required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date on all parties entitled to notice. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
