notice of proposed action procedure
Under the California probate code, trustees may utilize a procedure to protect themselves prior to taking an action or withholding from taking an action during the course of a trust administration. The procedure is known as a Notice of Proposed Action or Inaction. The trustee sends notice to the interested parties of his or her intention, and allows a certain amount of time for them to consider and respond. If the time period passes without objection, the trustee can safely take the proposed action.
