A: I would double check your conformed copy of the notice to make sure that you have her name and address correct and that it matches the name and address on the Petition for Probate. If they match, you can try calling the probate examiner, depending on your county. While rare, examiners sometimes do make errors.

If you made the error, such as an incorrect address or forgot to place her on the list, you can file a supplemental declaration under perjury to correct the error. Worst case, you will need to either ask the court to excuse notice, or continue the hearing so you may provide proper notice.

A: In section 8 did you identify her as as the predeceased child? You might do a reply to calendar notes, in writing, under penalty of perjury, and explain the family tree. Also mark if adult or minor. Maybe even state they are only issue. Make it easy for the court. Good luck. -John
