Existing law requires each party to a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or legal separation to serve on the other party a preliminary declaration of disclosure of assets, as specified, and a final declaration of disclosure, as specified. Existing law provides, in the case of a default judgment, that a petitioner shall not be required to serve or receive a final declaration of disclosure, but that a preliminary declaration of disclosure by the petitioner is still required.
</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that both parties are not required to exchange declarations of disclosure in a dissolution of marriage or registered domestic partnership if the parties have an existing enforceable judgment of legal separation that adjudicates or reserves jurisdiction over the division of property.</html:p>

Existing law, the Uniform Fiduciary Income and Principal Act, generally sets forth the powers and duties of a fiduciary of a trust. These powers and duties are related to, among other matters, the allocation of receipts and disbursements between principal and income, making adjustments between principal and income, and converting a trust to a unitrust. Existing law requires, to the extent a fiduciary does not account for a receipt from an interest in minerals, water, or other natural resources as a business, as specified, the fiduciary to allocate the receipt in a specified manner.
</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would correct a cross-reference in this provision.</html:p>
