ATTORNEY OR PARTY WITHOUT ATTORNEY (Name, State Bar number, and address): FOR COURT USE ONLY

TELEPHONE NO.: FAX NO.(Optional): E-MAIL ADDRESS (Optional): ATTORNEY FOR (Name):

SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SOLANO STREET ADDRESS: 600 Union Avenue MAILING ADDRESS: P.O. Caller 5000 CITY AND ZIP CODE: Fairfield, CA 94533

IN RE THE ESTATE OF:

Deceased.

CASE NUMBER:

WAIVER OF ACCOUNTING (PROBATE CODE § 10954)

I, ______________________________________________________, declare as follows:

  1. The estate’s executor or administrator has asked for my permission to file a petition for distribution without giving me an accounting.

  2. I understand that a petition for distribution asks the court to allow the executor or administrator to give the estate’s assets to the deceased person’s heirs. I understand that under California law, an executor or administrator must give me an accounting whenever they file a petition for distribution. This accounting would tell me what assets the executor or administrator received (such as money, houses, and cars) on behalf of the deceased person’s estate. This accounting would also tell me how the executor or administrator spent money from the deceased person’s estate.

  3. I understand that if I agree that the administrator or executor does not have to give me this information, this is known as “waiving the accounting.” If I sign this form, I understand that I am “waiving the accounting” and that the executor or administrator will not have to give me this information. I understand that the executor or administrator will instead give me and the court a list of the property that will be given to the deceased person’s heirs. I understand that this list might not have the same assets as those I think the deceased person had at their death. I also understand that the executor or administrator might not have to explain to me or to the court why the list is different.

  4. I understand that if I waive an accounting now, I may not be able to change my mind and ask for an accounting after the court orders the executor or administrator to give the deceased person’s assets to the estate’s heirs. Go to Page 2 WAIVER OF ACCOUNTING (PROB. CODE § 10954)
