Probate Notes

Probate Examiners, Anne Holsinger and Michelle Warren, may be reached at Probate.Examiner@stanct.org . Telephone calls can be directed to the Probate Unit as set forth above. Emails must have the case identification information and hearing time/date in the subject line. No attachments will be opened. The Probate Examiner can only respond to inquiries regarding the meaning of comments in the notes. Please do not email to notify that documents have been filed, to request a confirmation whether documents have been received, or to request the clearing of notes. No legal or procedural advice may be given by the Probate Examiner in response to your email.

• It is the goal of the Probate Examiner to have Probate Notes posted five (5) calendar days prior to the hearing.
• Defects described in the Probate Notes must be corrected prior to approval of the moving papers. 
• If you are filing documents to cure technical defects, they should be filed NO LATER THAN FIVE COURT DAYS before the hearing.  Later-filed documents might not be reviewed prior to the hearing and could result in a continuance of your case.

Probate Notes will be updated as needed when late-filed documents are reviewed.  Please note:  Late-filed documents that do not contain the hearing date in the caption require more time and effort to be matched to the files.  This may result in an otherwise avoidable continuance.

Please Note: "Appearance not required (by VCourt if preferred)."

Appearances in most cases may be made in person or remotely, by telephone, using VCourt. For more information on how to appear by VCourt, please see the section "Remote Telephonic Hearings" on the home page of this website.

• For appointment as counsel in a Conservatorship, please see the list of qualifications and requirements found in California Rule of Court 7.1103 and 7.1105.

POSTED DECEMBER 17, 2021

POSTED OCTOBER 13, 2021

• It has come to the Court’s attention that due to changes in a major newspaper’s online publication submission procedure, some intestate proceedings are being published with reference to a request to “admit decedent’s wills and codicils, if any.”  The Court interprets the phrase “if any” as applying to the word “codicils”, as the next published sentence is “The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the Court”. Not only is the quoted language inconsistent, it is false, as there are no wills or codicils available for review in these proceedings.  One may reasonably rely on the misrepresentation and take no action believing a will has been or will be provided to the Court.  The Court cannot find this misleading notice to be harmless error.  As such, in these instances, the Court has ordered a republication with corrected language.  The Court has heretofore held that the republication fee is not reimbursable, however, given that the changes to the newspaper’s procedure are recent, and given the sheer volume of cases requiring republication, the Court will permit one republication fee to be reimbursable.  Requests for reimbursement will be granted for any one republication that occurs on or before June 1, 2022.

  Please note it also has recently come to the Court’s attention that the major newspaper may have revised, or may be revising, its online publication submission procedure to account for this issue.  

• Effective July 1, 2021, pursuant to Local Rule 8.04(D) , all communication with the Probate Examiner must be conducted via email, Probate.Examiner@stanct.org . Communication must be limited to the content of Probate Notes.

(2)    Hearing on First and Final Account/Waiver of Account, Report of the Administrator, Allowance of Statutory Fees to Personal Representative and for Final Distribution continued from 08/08/24:

Defects have been cured. Prior Notes remain:
•    It appears that the Administrator prematurely distributed estate assets without the court’s prior authorization.  Examiner notes Declaration (file marked 09/03/24) explains the prior disbursement as an oversight and misunderstanding.
•    The court granted a Fee Waiver at the onset of the case. There appears to be sufficient assets on hand for payment of court fees. 
    o    Executor to make arrangements to pay previously waived court fees from estate funds.
    -    This may result in modification of the Property on Hand for Distribution and the proposed distribution to heirs.

Hearing on Petition for Probate of Will and for Letters Testamentary:
Attached to the original will that was lodged with the court, a copy of which is attached to the petition file-marked 07/29/24, is a two-page document titled “PERSONAL PROPERTY” which does not appear to be part of the decedent’s will.

PR-22-000639 ESTATE OF LES RAY LOESER, JR.
Hearing on First and Final Account of Administrator and Petition for Allowance of Compensation to Attorney for Ordinary and Extraordinary Services and to Administrator for Ordinary Services and for Final Distribution:
•    There appears to have been a small miscalculation in the subtotal of administrative costs line 7 on page 7 as the Examiner’s review reflects a subtotal of $1,799.80, not $1,801.65. This issue may have also impacted the proposed reimbursement of counsel, the property on hand for distribution, and the proposed distributions.
•    There is no Schedule of Receipts as there were no receipts included in the Summary of Account. Examiner understands that there are alleged to have been no liquid funds in the estate until on or about February 2024, but was there no interest accrued in the Estate account in either March or April of 2024? 
•    Schedule D (“Disbursements”): 
      o    Did not include bond premiums. How have bond premiums been paid?
      o    Total Real Estate Expenses Paid in Escrow appears to contain a small mathematical error as the Examiner’s review reflects a subtotal of $149,127.46, not $149,136.46. Close examination of the Final Seller’s Statement attached as Exhibit A shows that the error may be that digits were transposed in the title charge of $698.00 for “settlement or closing fee” to the title company.
                X    The account ought not to have balanced due to this issue. Please verify the amount of cash on hand in the estate account at the end of the account period as described in Schedule H.
Request for extraordinary compensation will be submitted to court’s determination once other notes are cured.
Recommend continuance to 10/01/24, to coincide with Account Review Hearing already set, to allow time to cure defects.
Appearance not required (by VCourt if preferred).

PR-22-001095 ESTATE OF JUDY BARNETT
Hearing on Petition for Final Distribution; for Settlement of Estate on Waiver of Accounting; for Approval of Statutory Personal Representative’s Fees; for Approval of Statutory Attorneys’ Fees; for Approval of Costs:
Please be aware in future Notes that paragraph 6 the Report does not appear sufficiently detailed pursuant to PrC§9202(b) (knowledge of personal representative or estate attorney).
•    Paragraph 11 (Inventory and Appraisal): 
      o    Alleges an appraisal value that does not agree with the I&A filed on 04/05/24.
      o    The first line of paragraph 11 appears to mischaracterize the 04/05/24 I&A as “a Final” I&A. The discrepancy may reside in the title of the 04/05/24 pleading, and not the Petition. The I&A file-marked 04/05/24 (real property) was labeled a Corrected Supplemental I&A, which means that it corrected the prior Supplemental I&A. The only Supplemental I&A was filed 12/15/23 (checking account and vehicles). Please address.
      o    The second sentence of paragraph 11 mischaracterizes the 09/12/23 as a “Partial Inventory and Appraisal”. The I&A file-marked 09/12/23 (real property) was labeled a Final I&A.
•    Paragraph 19 (calculation of statutory compensation): Fee base does not agree with paragraph 11 (total of all appraisals), resulting in miscalculation of statutory compensation. This issue may have also impacted the property on hand for distribution and the proposed distributions.
•    Paragraph 21 (description of assets on hand) omitted legal description and assessor’s parcel number of real property as required by CRC 7.651(b)(3).
•    Property Tax Certificate [Probate Code 8800(d)] may be necessary as Form DE-160, Corrected Supplemental Inventory and Appraisal, file-marked 04/05/24 omitted item 5 (re: change of ownership statement).
•    Notice of Proposed Action must be filed, with affidavit of mailing attached, per Local Rules 8.83 N and 8.100.
•    Proposed Order: 
      o    First line on page 1 appears to reflect that the Order is addressed to the court.
      o    Omits the legal description and assessor’s parcel number of the real property.
      o    Paragraph 13 misstates the appraisal value per the I&A’s. See notes above regarding this issue.
      o    Please restate the omnibus clause such that the division of future assets is clear, as the Order sets forth a particular distribution that, while appearing equitable and appropriate, is not strictly 50/50.
Recommend continuance to 12/04/24 to allow time to cure defects.
Appearance not required (by VCourt if preferred).

•    Form DE-135, Proof of Holographic Instrument, file-marked 07/31/24 does not appear adequate pursuant to PrC§8222: Item 3b describes declarant’s personal knowledge of the existence of the will but not his prior experience with a document (other than the will) written in decedent’s handwriting.
•    The will did not name an executor. Please either provide points and authorities for a petition for appointment of an executor not named by decedent in his will, or file pleadings (see California Rules of Court rule 7.3 and 7.53) to amend petition to seek Letters of Administration with Will Annexed.
