The Decedent, Xanthi Avdalas, died intestate on September 26, 2017. She was not married at the time of his death. She was survived by her two children, George Avdalas and Konstantine Avdalas. Pursuant to the Decedent’s Will, the Decedent’s entire estate passes equally to her children. Her son, Konstantine Avdalas, has petitioned to be appointed as Special Administrator of her estate with the consent of her other child, George Avdalas. The Decedent owned and operated 3 rental properties in Fairfield, California. The rental properties were operated and managed solely by the Decedent, with her two sons occasionally assisting her. In operating and maintain those rental properties, the Decedent used two accounts at Bank of America with approximately $76,684.43 total. The tenants of these rental properties pay rental income, which is distributed directly into these accounts, and the Decedent would then use those accounts to pay bills for the maintenance and upkeep of the rental properties. Only the ' Decedent had access to those accounts. " A Special Administrator is immediately needed for the sole and limited purpose of accessing the Decedent’s bank accounts ending in 0940 and 4602 in order to pay pending tax bills, expenses, and any other fees for the rental properties, while also managing rental payments, until an Executor of the Estate can be appointed. Upon the appointment of the Executor, the Letters of Special Administrator can expire and the formal probate action can be initiated. This Petition is brought on an ex parte basis. The Decedent’s other child, George Avdalas has waived notice of the hearing of this petition and consent to it in all respects. That waiver and consent form is attached hereto. Wherefore, Petitioner prays for orders as follows: . 1. That Konstantine Avdalas be appointed as Special Administrator herein, with special powers, without bond, to access the Decedent’s Bank of America accounts ending in 0940 and 4602 to pay pending tax bills, expenses, and any other fees, and managing rental payments, for the rental properties. WAIVER OF NOTICE AND CONSENT TO EX PARTE PETITION I,GEORGE AVDALAS, am the heir at law and present beneficiary of the Estate of Xanthi Avdalas. , I have received a copy of KONSTANTINE AVDALAS’, petition to be appointed as Special Administrator of the Estate of Xanthi Avdalas, and am familiar with its contents. I hereby waive notice of the hearing of her petition to be appointed as Special Administrator, request that it be heard on an ex parte basis, and consent to it. in all respects. I
