Probate Notes for August 17, 2026
The 9:00 Calendar will be heard in Department 4
The probate notes represent staff’s recommendations to the Court and are not tentative rulings. If the probate notes indicate that a petition should be granted, no appearance is required at the hearing. The matter will be deemed submitted on the papers. If the Court does not follow staff recommendation, appropriate instructions will be issued.
Frequently, the only defect to a probate petition is the absence of the Proof of Publication, in such instance, if the Proof of Publication is filed by 12:00 p.m. on the Friday before the hearing, the recommendation will be deemed to have been changed to a recommendation that the petition be granted.
If the moving party would like to continue the matter to cure defects showing in the probate notes, he or she may do so by sending an email to probate@yubacourts.org no later than 12:00 the Friday before the hearing.. The email is to state the case name and number and indicate a Monday date to which the continuance is requested. If such an email request is timely made, no appearance is required at the hearing and the matter will be continued unless the probate notes indicate that the Court has directed otherwise.
