. (a) If the court finds that the matters referred to in
paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8005 are established, the
court shall make an order determining the time and place of the
decedent's death and the jurisdiction of the court. Where appropriate
and on satisfactory proof, the order shall admit the decedent's will
to probate and appoint a personal representative. The date the will
is admitted to probate shall be included in the order.
(b) If through defect of form or error the matters referred to in
paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8005 are incorrectly

and retains jurisdiction to correct the defect or error at any time.
No such defect or error makes void an order admitting the will to
probate or appointing a personal representative or an order made in
any subsequent proceeding.
