What is a tentative ruling in probate court?
A tentative ruling is a preliminary decision issued by a probate court before a hearing, indicating how the judge is likely to rule on a matter. These rulings allow parties to understand the court's initial position and decide whether to appear at the hearing to argue their case. Tentative rulings can be changed after oral argument during the actual hearing.
