If you have received a notice regarding an OSC hearing from the probate court, chances are that there is a significant problem with your probate case.  There are ways we can help the OSC situation, but first you should learn about what an OSC is in probate.

What is an OSC hearing in Probate?

An OSC hearing is for an “Order to Show Cause” why something required by law has not been done in probate, or why the court should not take an action.   The OSCs come in many different situations.  The following are some of the common reasons why the probate court judge must have ordered the setting of an OSC hearing:

  1.  No bond has been posted;
  2.  No blocked account receipt has been filed with the court;
  3.  No probate letters has been issued;
  4.  No inventory has been filed, or inventory was untimely.
  5.  No accounting has been done.
  6.  No petition for final distribution has been filed in a timely manner.

The MOST COMMON reason for an OSC in probate is that no petition for final distribution and accounting has been filed.
