WAIVER OF NOTICE OF PROPOSED ACTION
(Probate Code section 10583)
(Revocation of Waiver)
WARNING
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.
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.
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.
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.)
If you do not understand this form, ask a lawyer to explain it to you.
WAIVER OF RIGHT TO NOTICE
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).
a. (name):
b. (address):
(Mail or deliver notices to the personal representative at this address.)
2. I understand I have the right to receive notice of certain actions the personal representative may propose to take. I understand that
those actions may affect my interest in the estate.
3. I understand that by signing this waiver form I give up my right to receive notices from the personal representative of actions he or
she may decide to take.
