If you object to the Inventory and Appraisal identified above or to the appraised value of any property listed in it, and you want the 
court to hear your objections, they must be in writing, signed by you under penalty of perjury, and filed with the court at the court's 
address stated above. If you object to the appraised value of any property listed in the Inventory and Appraisal, you must 
file your objections with the clerk of the court no later than 30 days after the date specified in item 1 above. 

If you object to a Final Inventory and Appraisal or to an Inventory and Appraisal filed on or after the later of (1) 90 days from the 
date of the order appointing the conservator or guardian or (2) the last day of any extension granted by the court for filing the 
Inventory and Appraisal, in addition to the objections described above you may also object to that Inventory and Appraisal and all 
others previously filed on the ground that they do not list property that should have been listed and valued as property of the estate. 

You may prepare your written objections on form GC-045, Objections to Inventory and Appraisal of Conservator or Guardian.  
When you file your objections, the court will set a date, time, and place for a hearing on them. Unless the court orders otherwise, 
you then must arrange for someone other than yourself to mail, at least 15 days before the hearing date, copies of your objections 
and copies of another form, form GC-020, Notice of Hearing—Guardianship or Conservatorship, showing the date, time, and place 
of the court hearing, to (1) the conservator or guardian of the estate; (2) the conservator's or guardian's attorney, if any, at the 
address shown at the top of this form; (3) the conservatee or the minor (if the minor is at least 12 years of age; if not, to the minor's 
parents, guardian, or other adult residing with the minor who has legal custody); (4) the spouse or registered domestic partner of the 
conservatee or the spouse of the minor; (5) any person who has filed form DE-154/GC-035, Request for Special Notice, in this 
case; and (6) any probate referee who made an appraisal of property to which you object. (You do not have to ask someone to mail 
copies to you if you are one of the persons listed above.) You must then arrange for the person who did the mailing to complete and 
sign the proof of service on page 2 of the original Notice of Hearing and file the Notice with the court before the date of the hearing. 

5.

At the hearing the court will consider and determine the merits of your objections and may fix the true value of any property to the 
appraised value of which you have objected. The court may order an independent reappraisal by one or more additional appraisers 
at the expense of the conservatorship or guardianship estate, but if your objection to the appraisal of any property that the 
court orders to be reappraised is not upheld by the court, the cost of the reappraisal may be charged to you.

Assistive listening systems, computer-assisted real-time captioning, or sign language interpreter services are 
available upon request if at least five days notice is provided.  Contact the clerk's office for Request for 
Accommodations by Persons With Disabilities and Order (form MC-410).  (Civ. Code, § 54.8.)
