ESTATE OF CASE NUMBER

ATTACHMENT TO INITIAL OR COMPETING PETITION FOR PROBATE

Advisal of Publication and Notice Requirements:

Publication: A copy of the Notice of Petition to Administer Estate (JC Form #DE-121) must be published three times in the legal notice section of a newspaper of general circulation in the city where the decedent resided. The first publication date must be at least 15 days prior to the hearing with at least five days between the first and last publication (not counting the publication dates), with proof of same being filed with the court (Prob. Code, § 8120, et seq.).

Notice Requirements: A copy of the Notice of Petition to Administer Estate (JC Form #DE-121) showing the hearing date must be given to each person or entity entitled to notice by mail or personal delivery at least 15 days prior to the hearing, with proof of same being filed with the court (Prob. Code, § 8110, et seq.).

Having read the above-referenced publication and notice requirements, I hereby request a hearing date, as follows:

Within 15-30 days from date of filing.

Within 30-45 days from date of filing.

Probate Examiner Notes: If the publication and notice or other requirements are not met before the hearing date, the Probate Examiner will enter this as a “defect” on the Probate Examiner Notes. If defects are not corrected before the hearing date, the hearing may be continued to a date exceeding 45 days from the initial hearing date.

Parties are encouraged to review the Probate Examiner Notes and correct any defects with the Probate Examiner at least four court days before the hearing date (SDSC 4.3.3.E & 4.3.3.O) to avoid excessive delays in estate proceedings. A copy of the Probate Examiner Notes will be available two to three weeks prior to the hearing and can be found on the court website at www.sdcourt.ca.gov (click on the Probate tab, then Examiner Notes).

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that I have read the foregoing and confirm the choice made above.
