Text

The notice of hearing of a petition for administration of a decedent’s estate, whether delivered under Article 2 (commencing with Section 8110) or published under Article 3 (commencing with Section 8120), shall state substantially as follows:
NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER
ESTATE OF ___________, ESTATE NO. ________
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, and contingent creditors of _________ and persons who may be otherwise interested in the will or estate, or both:
A
petition has been filed by _________ in the Superior Court of California,
County of _________, requesting that _________ be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of _________ [and for probate of the decedent’s will, which is available for examination in the court file].
[The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. This will avoid the need to obtain court approval for many actions taken in connection with the estate. However, before taking certain actions, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or have consented to the proposed action. The petition will be granted unless good cause is shown why it should not be.]
The petition is set for hearing in Dept. No.
