A petition for probate has been filed for Machelle Rana Cranford's estate.

NOTICE OF PETITION
TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:
MACHELLE  RANA  CRANFORD
Case No.: 26STPB01936
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent 
creditors, and persons who may otherwise be 
interested in the will or estate, or both, of: 
MACHELLE  RANA  CRANFORD.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by  
BRANDYN CRANFORD in the Superior Court of 
California, County of LOS ANGELES. 
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that  
BRANDYN CRANFORD be appointed as personal 
representative to administer the estate of the 
decedent.   
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 on  
3-26-26 at 8:30 a.m. in Dept. 67, Room: 614
located at:  
SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF LOS 
ANGELES – Stanley Mosk Courthouse
111 N. Hill Street 
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 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.
