NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:

 JOYCE C. MEREDITH

 CASE NO. 26PR-0084
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors,
 and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of
 JOYCE C. MEREDITH.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by LISA MARIE KWASCHNEFSKI
 in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN LUIS OBISPO.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that LISA MARIE KWASCHNEFSKI
 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 in this court as follows:
 05/19/26 at 9:00AM in Dept. 4 located at 1050 MONTEREY STREET, SAN LUIS OBISPO,
 CA 93401
Your hearing will be in person or via zoom.
(Probate)
MEETING ID: 160 407 5307 PASSWORD: 79513
You may also access the Zoom information from the court website
 at https://www.slo.courts.ca.gov
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.
