Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
I recently filed an objection to waiver of bond and request for appointment of independent trustee. I consulted the tentative rulings of the superior court of california and found that the case was approved.But I noticed a continuation date. I don't understand if i have been overruled in my objection.
do i need to request to be heard? Doesn't my petition do that?

I presume this is a probate matter so it is an administrator and not trustee. If the tenative ruling stated your petition was granted and the other side did not ask for a hearing [must do so before the hearing date], the tenatlive ruling becomes a permanent ruling [you may need to submit an Order to the Court for such a ruling--merely states you objected, all paties given opportunity to present oral argument, court finds after considering all ...]. Call the clerk for that court room to find out what it is continued for--might be for another administrator to be nominated. Remember, the cost of the bond comes out of the estate eventually. Cmoe up with some names of people you trust as replace administrators so you can submit their name and a brief resume to the court and all other parties.
