PROBATE

NOTICE OF PETITION

TO ADMINISTER

ESTATE OF LENNY RUIZ

CASE No.: 24STPB07609

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the Will or estate, or both, of LENNY RUIZ.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by LEAH RUIZ in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that LEAH RUIZ be appointed as personal

representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s Will and Codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The Will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the Court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the independent

Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on August 8, 2024 at 8:30am., in Dept. 4, Room 217 Court Address: 111 N. Hill St. Los Angeles, CA 90012.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before your hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your

claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the Court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code 9100.

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the

estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (Form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code 1250. A request for Special Notice form is available from the Court Clerk.
