For some reason, I'm able to get to the text of this one in Safari (although I can't promise to be able to repeat that result) so I'm duplicating the topic as originally posted by Danielle:

"Friends,

In a trust matter, where 30 days notice is required, is it correct that we do not add 5 days for mailing? I’m reading Probate Code § 1215(e) to mean that notice is complete upon mailing without adding any time for mail. Is that the correct reading?

I know it’s a very basic question, but it’s never been an issue before. (i.e. I’ve always been able to give at least 35 days notice.)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers"

Danielle, what jurisdiction, please? Thanks.

From CEB:

"Mailing is complete when the notice or other paper is deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the person to whom it is mailed." Prob C §1215 (c)-(e).

However, you may want to double check your local rules.

Hope this helps.
