You, rather than the referee, must determine the value of certain "cash items." An attorney can advise you about how to do this.
File an inventory and appraisal
As guardian of the estate, you must file an inventory and appraisal within 90 days after your appointment. You may be required to return to court 90 days after your appointment as guardian of the estate, to ensure that you have properly filed the inventory and appraisal.
Insurance
Insurance coverage: As guardian of the estate, you should make sure that there is appropriate and sufficient insurance covering the assets and risks of the estate. You should maintain the insurance in force throughout the entire period of the guardianship, or until the insured asset is sold.
Record Keeping and Accounting
Records
As guardian of the estate, you must keep complete, accurate records of each financial transaction affecting the estate. The checkbook for the guardianship checking account is your indispensable tool for keeping records of income and expenditures. You should also keep receipts for all purchases.
Record keeping is critical because you will have to prepare an accounting of all money and property you have received, what you have spent, and the date of each transaction and its purpose. You will also have to be able to describe in detail what is left after you have paid the estate's expenses.
Accountings
As guardian of the estate, you must file a petition requesting that the court review and approve your accounting one year after your appointment and at least every two years after that. The court may ask that you justify some or all expenditures. You should have receipts and other documents available for the court's review, if requested.
If you do not file your accounting as required, the court will order you to do so. You may be removed as guardian for failure to file an accounting.
Format
As guardian of the estate, you must comply with all state and local rules when filing your accounting. A particular format is specified in the Probate Code, which you must follow when you present your account to the court. You should check local rules for any special local requirements.
Legal advice: An attorney can advise you and help you prepare your inventories, accountings, and petitions to the court.
2001 Budget Analysis Trial Court Funding (0450)
individual court request that comes to the AOC must have adequate justification in order for the AOC to approve and forward that
request. At this stage, the AOC could take into account ways in which individual courts have reduced costs and/or used more
efficient procedures.
Analyst's Recommendation. We recommend the Legislature direct the Judicial Council to examine ways to control the escalating
costs of state-funded trial court services. To achieve this, we recommend the Legislature adopt the following supplemental report
language:
The Judicial Council shall report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairs of the Legislature's fiscal committees by
December 1, 2001 on the following: (1) ways to provide the courts with the authority and flexibility they need to purchase court
services in a cost-effective manner, (2) an incentive plan for use by the Administrative Offices of the Court in the review of court
budget proposals to encourage local courts to reduce costs and achieve efficiencies in their operations, (3) the feasibility of the
Judicial Council and courts having a role in negotiating the cost of court services provided by counties but funded by the state, and
(4) any statutory changes needed to implement its recommendations.
Funding to Implement New Trial Court Personnel System Premature 
We withhold recommendation on the proposal for $3.5 million for the trial courts to implement the new trial court
personnel system in accordance with the Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act because the request
is premature. The Judicial Council anticipates that a consultant report, due May 2001, will provide detailed
information about actual trial court needs. We recommend the Judicial Council present the consultant report and
detailed justification for its proposal prior to budget hearings.
Background. The Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act of 2000, (Chapter 1010, Statutes of 2000 [SB 2140,
Burton]) established a new trial court personnel system. This statute redesignated county employees in the trial courts as "court
employees." The courts are required to develop new personnel procedures for these court employees including a uniform
classification system, an employment protection system, personnel rules, and eligibility for defined-benefit retirement systems. As the

(g) (1) The director may investigate and, by order, take enforcement action against plans, including, but not limited to, assessing administrative penalties subject to appropriate notice of, and the opportunity for, a hearing in accordance with Section 1397, regarding noncompliance with the requirements of this section. The director shall consider, as an aggravating factor
	when assessing administrative penalties, if harm to an enrollee, including financial or health impacts to an enrollee or substantial harm as defined in Section 3428 of the Civil Code, has occurred as a result of plan noncompliance. The director has the discretion to determine what harm constitutes harm to an enrollee. The plan may provide to the director, and the director may consider, information regarding the plan’s overall compliance with the requirements of this section. When taking enforcement action against a plan, the director may consider patterns of noncompliance. The administrative penalties shall not be deemed an exclusive remedy available to the director. These penalties shall be paid to the Managed Care Administrative Fines and Penalties Fund and shall be used for the purposes specified in Section 1341.45. The director shall periodically evaluate grievances to determine if any audit,
	investigative, or enforcement actions should be undertaken by the department.(2) The director may, after appropriate notice and opportunity for hearing in accordance with Section 1397, by order, assess administrative penalties if the director determines that a health care service plan has knowingly committed, or has performed with a frequency that indicates a general business practice, either of the following:(A) Repeated failure to act promptly and reasonably to assure timely access to care consistent with this chapter.(B) Repeated failure to act promptly and reasonably to require
	network providers to assure timely access that the plan is required to perform under this chapter and that have been delegated by the plan to the network provider when the obligation of the plan to the enrollee or subscriber is reasonably clear.(C) The administrative penalties available to the director pursuant to this section are not exclusive, and may be sought and employed in any combination with civil, criminal, and other administrative remedies deemed warranted by the director to enforce this chapter.

FTB Publication 1017 | FTB.ca.gov
In situations when a nonresident payee is performing services within California as well as outside of California, how does the withholding agent determine the portion of the services the nonresident payee provided within California?
The following are examples of accepted reasonable methods:
Method 1:
 Withholding agent asks the payee to complete Form 587, Nonresident Withholding Allocation Worksheet. This form is used to determine the amount of California source income subject to withholding. The payee completes and returns Form 587 to the withholding agent. This information determines if withholding is required, and, if required, what portion of the payment is subject to withholding. 
Example:
 A withholding agent sends Form 587 to an outâofâstate independent contractor (vendor) before making a payment for services. The total contract amount is $100,000. The vendor returns Form 587 certifying that $60,000 is for services performed in California and $40,000 is for work performed in another state. The amount of withholding would be: 

California source income
$60,000

Withholding rate
Ã 7%

Withhold this amount
$4,200

If the amount subject to withholding ($60,000 in the example above) is equal to or less than $1,500, then no withholding is required.
Method 2:
 The withholding agent relies on the nature of the work to indicate where the services are performed. For example, a construction company building a shopping center is most likely performing services where the shopping center is located. We do not expect exactness in determining what portion, or ratio, of the services is performed in California. A good faith eï¬ort by the withholding agent to comply with the withholding rules will satisfy this requirement. Withholding agents may use other reasonable methods approved by us. For assistance in this area, call us at 916-845-4900.

The Superior Court of California - County of Ventura - FAQs
A:  You must be at least 18 years of age to file a claim. If you are not yet 18, you may ask the court to appoint a guardian ad litem. This is a 
 person who will act for you in the case. The guardian ad litem is usually a parent, a relative or an adult friend.

Q:  How much does it cost to file a claim?
A:  See the fee structure below.

If the claim is for $1,500.00 or less, the filing fee is $30.00. 
If the claim is more than $1,500.00 but less than or equal to $5,000.00, the filing fee is $50.00.
If the claim is more than $5,000.00 but less than or equal to $10,000.00, the filing fee is $75.00.
If the person has filed more than 12 small claims in California within the past 12 months, the filing fee is $100.00.

Q:  How do I obtain the forms needed to file my claim?
A:  Forms can be obtained on at the State Forms page of the California Courts website. 
 The forms can also be completed online. Forms can also be obtained at either court location or may be received by mail by sending your request along with a self-addressed 
 stamped envelope to the court.

Q:  Do my forms have to be typed?
A:  The forms do not have to be typed. They can be handwritten but must be legible. It is preferable that the forms be completed in blue or black ink.

Q:  Is this the proper court to hear my case?
A:  You must sue in the right court and location. This rule is called venue. The Ventura Superior Court has two divisions where small claims cases are assigned 
 and heard. The right location may be any of these:

Where the defendant lives or where the business involved is located; 
Where the damage or accident happened;
Where the contract was signed or carried out;
If the defendant is a corporation, where the contract was broken
For a retail installment account or sales contract or a motor vehicle finance sale:

Leases & rentals | New York State Attorney General
any fees or taxes imposed by a government taxing authority
a reasonable disposition fee as stated in the lease agreement, or the actual costs of selling the vehicle
any additional early-termination charge reasonably related to the lessor's anticipated or actual harm. This must be disclosed in the lease
any difference between the actuarial lease balance and the realized value of the vehicle. The "actuarial lease balance" is the amount you pay to end the lease early. It is calculated using a traditional actuarial method, similar to how early-payoff balances are calculated for merchandise bought by installments. The "realized value" is the wholesale sales price, the highest cash bid, or the appraised value determined by an independent third party agreed to by both you and the lessor. Since the realized value affects your early-termination liability, you have a right to an appraisal by an independent party. That appraisal is "binding" — it must be accepted by both you and the lessor. 

Protections at lease termination
If you return the vehicle to the lessor at lease termination, you can be charged for excess wear and damage only under the following circumstances:

The lessor actually repairs the vehicle or gets a bona fide estimate of the repair costs from a licensed appraiser.
The lessor must provide you with an itemized bill for excess wear and damage and a notice of your right to a second vehicle inspection if you disagree with the bill.
You have a right to a second inspection at your expense by a licensed appraiser agreed to by the lessor.
If you disagree with the lessor's charge for excess wear and damage, you may submit the dispute to binding arbitration established by the Attorney General. For more information, call 1-800-771-7755.

Penalty provisions
You have a private right of enforcement. The Office of the New York State Attorney General also has civil enforcement authority. If the lessor does not comply with all of the MVRLA's requirements, you are entitled to recover the following amounts:

any actual damages you have suffered
in addition to the actual damages, a civil penalty of $100 for any violation of the MVRLA by the lessor

New York State Freedom Of Information Law (FOIL) - NYSDEC
This date is determined by the number of documents you request, their format, their availability, the time it takes to redact any information that cannot be disclosed pursuant to FOIL, the time it takes to assemble the documents, and other factors.If you will need to pay a fee to obtain the records you request, we will notify you before we release the records to you. Unless a different fee is otherwise prescribed by statute, Public Officers Law §87(1) authorizes an agency to charge a fee of 25¢ per copy for copies of records up to 9"x 14", or the actual cost of reproducing a record. In determining the actual cost of producing a record, an agency may include only:an amount equal to the hourly salary attributed to the lowest paid agency employee who has the necessary skill required to prepare the requested record(s), if at least two hours of agency employee time is needed to prepare a copy of the record(s) requested;the actual cost of the storage devices or media provided to the person making the request in complying with such request; orthe actual cost to the agency of engaging an outside professional service to prepare a copy of a record, but only when an agency's information technology equipment is inadequate to prepare a copy, if such service is used to prepare the copy.Once the requested records are prepared, you may receive the records via email, paper, CD/DVD, file transfer service, or USB.You must make an appointment if you wish to inspect and copy records at the Department's offices. DEC is open for the inspection and copying of records between the hours of 8:45 AM and 4:45 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding State holidays.
