NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: NEDRA ELAINE WILLIAMS CASE NO. STK-PR-EST-2026-0000455 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of NEDRA ELAINE WILLIAMS. A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by MICHAEL WILLIAMS in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN JOAQUIN. THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that MICHAEL WILLIAMS be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 5/21/2026 at 8:30 A.M. in Dept. L1 located at 180 E.
