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.

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 (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.
