Petition to Appoint Guardian of Person
It is unacceptable to merely file a copy of the newspaper clipping as proof of publication. A Petitioner must obtain an affidavit executed under the penalty of perjury by the person with authority to affect publication at the newspaper. (Prob. Code, Sec.8124.) PUBLICATION MUST OCCUR IN THE SANTA MARIA TIMES.
Supplement to the Petition. The following allegations must be made without creating ambiguity, but were left blank or improperly alleged and must be corrected by supplement: Paragraph 3d(1-7) - These were left blank, and are not totaled.
Proof of Service of Notice of Hearing (Form DE-121). 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. 8100 & 8110.) Notice must be sent to the person, not the person's representative. (Sec.1220.) No such document was filed.
If the documents curing these deficiencies are not processed by 8:00 a.m. on June 8, 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).
