Effective January 3, 2022, the Probate Division of the Alameda County Superior Court may allow appearance for hearings to be either in-person or remote, depending on case type, in compliance with CCP Section 367.75. Please see the Local Rule 1.90 for detail instruction at the Alameda Court website. http://www.alameda.courts.ca.gov/. 

All procedural issues MUST be cleared by 12:00 pm two court days prior to the hearing, otherwise the hearing may be DROPPED at the Court's discretion. The Court does not automatically continue matters due to uncleared procedural issues.

You do NOT need to file an amended Petition to address the issues related to the Petition. Instead, a VERIFIED DECLARATION (MC-030) can be used to address procedural issues related to the filings. If an Amended Petition is filed, you will have to re-notice and re-publish the Amended Petition pursuant to CRC 7.53.
