Unless notification to the probate clerk has been given as provided above, the tentative rulings shall become the rulings of the court at 1:45 p.m. on the day of the hearing. 

To Join Department 12 “Zoom” Online

To Join Department 12 “Zoom” By Phone:

  • Call: +1 669 254 5252 US (San Jose) and enter same meeting ID and password as listed above.

Guide for Participating in Court Proceedings via Zoom for Dept 12:

  • After joining the meeting and checking in with the clerk, please mute your audio when not speaking. This helps keep background noise to a minimum.
  • Be mindful of background noise when your microphone is not muted. Avoid activities that could create additional noise, such as shuffling papers.
  • Position your camera properly if you choose to use a web camera. Be sure it is in a stable position and focused at eye level, if possible. Make sure everything visible in the frame is appropriate for an appearance in court.
  • If a confidential session becomes necessary it is incumbent on you to ensure you are able to participate from a private location so that unauthorized people cannot overhear or see the proceedings.
  • Chat is enabled for the sharing of documents among participants and the court and to allow attorneys to communicate individually with each other or their clients only. No chat messages should be sent privately to the court as it would amount to an unauthorized ex parte communication. Neither should chat messages be sent to all participants unless directed by the court.
  • The recording function has been disabled. Remember, the prohibition against recording court proceedings, even remote ones, remains.
  • Be patient. Check in will take more time and the experience from those who have tried this before is that proceedings are a little slower generally.

    Appointment of Limited Conservator

Tentative Ruling: NO APPEARANCES REQUIRED. The petition for appointment of Arash Nezakati and Anne M.

The co-conservators shall have equal powers and may exercise them severally or jointly.

The request for medical powers pursuant to PrC §§2355 is denied as the Court approved medical powers pursuant to PrC §2351.5(b)(5).     

The order has been revised to conform to the court’s ruling.

The matter is SET on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 3:30 p.m., in Department 12, for review of compliance with the Probate Code section(s) listed below:

-Probate Code § 1830: Notice of Conservatee’s Rights (Judicial Council Form GC-341) and a copy of the Order Appointing Conservator shall be mailed on or before the 30th day following the filing date of the Order Appointing Conservator.

Form GC-341 must be served on all required parties, including the Sonoma County Public Defender. The original GC-341 form, with completed Proof of Mailing, shall be filed with the Court.

If the limited co-conservators comply with the above requirements, no appearance shall be required, and a date for the annual review and report of the court investigator shall be set on the limited conservatorship calendar one year after the establishment of the limited conservatorship.

 

  1. Limited Conservatorship of Chasa Pinot
    SPR73099
    Appointment of Successor Limited Conservator

Tentative Ruling: APPEARANCES REQUIRED by the current limited conservator.  She may appear in person or by Zoom.  The Court intends to take evidence from her in order to cure the procedural deficiencies.  The Court will inquire about the financial status of the conservatee since the last waiver of accounting period to the present date.  If the evidence from the limited conservator is that there has been no change in the financial status, based on which accountings in the past were waived, and there is no objection from Limited Conservatee’s counsel, the Court will enter an order waiving an accounting for the most recent period (March 31, 2021, to September 25, 2025) and will waive a final accounting.  The Court will then accept the resignation of the current limited conservator with the Court’s thanks to Ms. Crist for her many years of dedicated and loving service.  The petition to terminate the conservatorship of the person will be dropped as moot, and the request to terminate the conservatorship of the estate will be granted.  The Court will prepare the order after hearing.

The Court will also inquire what notice has been given of the Second Amended Petition for Appointment of Successor Conservator.  Specifically, the Court inquires if the proof of service filed on October 21, 2025, showing service on October 16, 2025, was in fact service of the Second Amended Petition and whether the title of the document served as a Petition (not the Second Amended Petition) is simply in error.  If so, the Court will find good cause to accept the proof of service as proof of sufficient notice to proceed to the merits.  In that case, and absent objection from Limited Conservatee’s counsel, the Court will grant the Second Amended Petition to appoint a successor conservator of the person only, and order as stated below:

  1. That the petition for appointment of Ileo Pinot as successor limited conservator of the person is APPROVED with the powers pursuant to Probate Code [PrC] §2351.5(b)(1) - (7).
  1. The request for medical powers pursuant to PrC §§2355 is denied as the Court approved medical powers pursuant to PrC §2351.5(b)(5).     
  1. That the request for estate powers pursuant to 1830 (b) be denied as they were requested in error (no conservatorship of the estate is in fact sought or needed).

The matter will then be SET on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 3:30 p.m., in Department 12, for review of compliance with the Probate Code section(s) listed below:

-Probate Code § 1830: Notice of Conservatee’s Rights (Judicial Council Form GC-341) and a copy of the Order Appointing Conservator shall be mailed on or before the 30th day following the filing date of the Order Appointing Conservator.

Form GC-341 must be served on all required parties, including the Sonoma County Public Defender. The original GC-341 form, with completed Proof of Mailing, shall be filed with the Court.

-Probate Code § 2352.5: Confidential Conservatorship Care Plan – Part 1 (Judicial Council Form GC-355), Items 1-4 only, shall be filed with the court within 120 days of the date of the Court’s Order Appointing Conservator.

If the successor limited conservator complies with the above requirements, no appearance shall be required, and a date for the annual review and report of the court investigator shall be set on the limited conservatorship calendar one year after Letters of Successor Limited Conservator are issued.
