Length: 295 wordsOfficial source
(a) Demand for Notice. Any interested person desiring notice of any filing,
hearing, or order in a proceeding concerning a decedent’s estate or in a
protective proceeding may file a demand for notice with the register of any court
at any time after the death of the decedent or at any time during the minority or
disability of a person who may be the subject of a protective proceeding. The
demand shall state the name of the decedent or minor or disabled person, the
nature of the demandant’s interest in the estate, and the address to which the
notice shall be sent. The register shall mail a copy of the demand to any personal
representative or conservator who has been or shall thereafter be appointed.
Thereafter, any filing, notice of hearing, or order entered in that court concerning
the estate of the decedent or minor or disabled person shall be served upon the
demandant as provided in Rule 4(d) or 5 by the person making the filing or
seeking the hearing or by the register of the court where the order is entered, as
appropriate. The demandant shall pay to the register the statutory fee for all
copies received from the register.
(b) Waiver of Notice. Any person, including a guardian ad litem, conservator,
or other fiduciary, whether or not the person has previously filed a demand for
notice, may at any time after the commencement of a proceeding waive all
further notice of any filing, hearing, or order by filing with the register a written
waiver signed by the person or the person’s attorney; except that an alleged
incapacitated person may waive notice in a proceeding for the appointment or
removal of a guardian only as provided in section 5-309(b) of the Probate Code.
