The proof of service for the notice of petition to administer estate fails to state the date of mailing. Also, service must be made by someone who is not a party to the petition.

An amended petition requires the same notice of hearing (including publication) as the pleading it amends. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 7.53(a).)
Subject to all of the foregoing, grant. Appoint Petitioner Eve Cohen as the executor of the estate, with full IAEA powers. Admit to probate the will dated 1/29/13. The will waives bond.
