WARNING

READ BEFORE YOU SIGN

A.  The law requires the personal representative to give you notice of certain actions he or she proposes to take to 

administer the estate. If you sign this form, the personal representative will NOT have to give you notice.

B.  You have the right (1) to object to a proposed action and (2) to require the court to supervise the proposed action. 

If you do not object before the personal representative acts, you lose your right and you cannot object later.

C.  IF YOU SIGN THIS FORM, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE NOTICE. This means you give the 

personal representative the right to take actions concerning the estate without first giving you the notice otherwise
required by law. You cannot object after the action is taken.

D.  You have the right to revoke (cancel) this waiver at any time. Your revocation must be in writing and is not 
effective until it is actually received by the personal representative. (A form to revoke your waiver is on the 
reverse. You may want to revoke this waiver later. Keep a copy of this form so you can.)

E.  If you do not understand this form, ask a lawyer to explain it to you.

1. 

I understand that the personal representative named here has authority to administer the estate of the decedent without court 
supervision under the Independent Administration of Estates Act (California Probate Code sections 10400-10592).

or she may decide to take.
