Pleading, Demurrer, Time to File, Before Hearing, 1, 4

This decision holds that the time to file a demurrer to a probate petition is governed by Probate Code 1043, not CCP 430.30, governs the time to file a demurrer to a probate petition.  Under section 1043, the demurrer may be presented at or before the hearing on the petition.  By contrast CCP 430.30 requires a demurrer to be filed within 30 days after service of summons and complaint.
