Guide for Participating in Court Proceedings via Zoom for Dept 63:

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.

Limited Conservatorship of Henry Patrick Hegardt

Appointment of Conservator

Tentative Ruling: NO APPEARANCES REQUIRED. The Court cannot reach the merits of the petition until notice required under the law has been provided. That includes notice to the father and any adult siblings of the proposed conservatee. “At least 15 days before the hearing on the petition for appointment of a conservator, notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be given as provided in this section. The notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the petition. The court shall not shorten the time for giving the notice of hearing under this section.” Probate Code section 1822(a). There is presently no proof that the father or any adult siblings have been served with timely notice of the present hearing or a copy of the petition. The Court therefore can only continue this matter again until that proof of service is filed. If petitioner did serve the father and any adult siblings at least 15 days before the hearing and has proof of that service, or a waiver of notice and consent from the father and any adult siblings, she should file proof of service, or the waiver(s) of notice and consent, and request to appear for the purpose of presenting it to the Court. In that case, and in the absence of an objection, the Court is inclined to grant the petition. Otherwise, the matter is CONTINUED to Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. in Department 63. Petitioner shall file and serve a new notice of hearing with the new hearing date and file proof of its timely service, including the petition, in accordance with the law.
