E. GITT be appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.

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 in this court as
follows: 03/14/17 at 8:30AM in Dept. 5 located at 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 the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the
decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail
a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court
within the later of either (1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general personal representative,
as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code,
or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery
to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California
Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect
your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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 section
1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from
the court clerk.
