§ 1260 Hearing Notice Requirements

Probate Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says you have to show the court that the other side was told about a hearing, and if the court believes the notice was given (or waived), that decision is final.

Key Takeaways

•Proof of notice must be shown to the court before the hearing starts.
•If the court is convinced notice was given or the other side gave it up, the court will note that in its order.
•That note becomes final and binds everyone.

Example

A landlord must tell a tenant about a court hearing to evict them. The landlord sends a certified letter and brings the receipt to court.

If the judge is happy with the proof that the tenant got the letter, the judge will write in the order that notice was properly given. That statement becomes final and can’t be disputed later.
