This is a petition to approve the proposed distribution of this intestate estate. While there is only one heir, and only one asset to speak of, the Court notes that approximately one year ago the petitioner was to have placed $239,330.83 into an estate account. Since estate deposits are supposed to be into an interest-earning account (see Probate Code §9652; Estate of Gerber (1977) 73 Cal.App.3d 96, 111), this Court would have expected to see more than $239,330.83 on hand for distribution. Instead, there is only $226,518.97 on hand, which technically reflects a “loss” for purposes of the statutory fee basis. This Court does not intend to dwell on the minutia but is curious where roughly $16,000 wandered off to …

This is a by-pass petition to transfer decedent’s primary residence to her three devisees by will. Although notice is technically deficient since it was not waived in the “consent to appointment” (see Para 8) and there is no proof of notice in the court file, the petition is otherwise in very good condition. All that is missing from the petition is proof that decedent actually held an ownership interest in the subject real property, which appears to have been glossed over by petitioner (but likely an easy fix).

This is a petition to appoint a personal representative and issue Letters of Administration to manage an intestate probate estate. There is no proof of publication on file, making the petition itself not yet ripe for consideration. However, in the interim this Court has received an objection to the petition to decedent’s natural heir, claiming an equitable interest in the single asset inventoried in the estate. Objector claims that a neutral party should serve as administrator.

Although petitioner may be deemed to have waived her priority in light of her delay (see §§ 8001 and 8468), there is no other person who has petitioned for appointment. Per §8461(a), petitioner is entitled to priority in appointment so long as she is entitled to succeed to at least a part of the estate. See §8462(a). That has yet to be shown. Nevertheless, the objector contends that petitioner should be disqualified from service based on a conflict of interest. See §8502. This Court will require evidence and/or additional briefing to understand the nature of this claimed disqualification.

Objector requested time to assess options for a buy-out.

This is a petition to admit a foreign will to probate and to appoint a nominee to serve as administrator thereof. The personal representative can certainly assume the position of administrator with will annexed. The will appears to have been validly executed (§6113), but not necessarily self-proving as alleged under Para 3.f(2) because Para 9 of the will permits an inference that the testator intended for the laws of the State of Wyoming to control the legal effect of this instrument. See Probate Code §21103. In Wyoming, such instruments are self-proving only if notarized. See Wyoming Statutes §2-6-114. Since there is no notary acknowledgement with the will, direct testimony from a subscribing witness is required. See §2-6-205. In California, we refer to that as using the DE-131 form.

This is a petition to approve the proposed distribution plan, with statutory and extraordinary fees.

Motorhome: As set forth in Paras 4 and 18, decedent held title to a motorhome. That motorhome is encumbered with a debt. A proposal was made to distribute this asset to Arnold (see Stipulation dtd 06/09/2025), but he has apparently had a change of heart before accepting the distribution. The asset was not inventoried, or appraised. As it is part of decedent’s estate, it must be liquidated or properly transferred in kind. The fact that the lender has not pursued a creditor claim in this probate proceeding is favorable to the estate so long as Arnold is not also identified as a borrower.

Extraordinary fees: As set forth in Para 22, counsel advises that he “performed extraordinary services for the Executors and the estate to defend the estate against a competing petition filed by the decedent's brother as detailed in my Declaration.” This Court is unaware of any competing petition, or that decedent had a brother. The billing summary reflects work associated with monetizing a life estate and trying to avoid a total loss on the estate’s primary asset. As set forth in CRC 7.703(c), extraordinary legal services can include “legal services in connection with the sale of property held in the estate.” However, Arnold’s life estate was set to terminate upon his “permanent voluntary vacating of the premises” which reportedly occurred after his accident in early 2025. The issue regarding who was to pay the mortgage was a red herring because the life estate was specifically contingent upon paying “use” fees (utilities, taxes, HOA, upkeep) which are separate and distinct from loan encumbrances impacting the residuary owners. When no rent is specified, none is owed. See Civil Code §§ 824, 1066, 1069. Nevertheless, some extraordinary effort was made by counsel, even if it resulted in a failed stipulated and significant loss on sale of the primary asset. Counsel has still failed to handle the motorhome, so on balance this Court concludes that $2,500 is a reasonable of fees earned to date. If more are incurred vis-à-vis the motorhome, this Court will address those in the amended petition.

This is a petition to admit a will to probate, and for appointment of an executor. There is no proof of publication yet, so the hearing may be delayed on this basis alone. The will is not perfectly self-executing, but under the circumstances this Court will likely permit its admission with just one DE-131. Even though the will provides for execution without bond (see §8422(a)), petitioner is non-resident and as such may be tasked with securing a bond first (see §8571). Alternatively, if the estate consists of liquid accounts and those are deposited into a blocked, interest-earning account (see §§ 8483(a) and 9703), the bond requirement can be avoided.

Petitioner to advise regarding liquidity.

By participating in the first hearing, or electing not to attend after due notice thereof, parties are deemed to have stipulated to the Commissioner serving as a Judge Pro Tem for the entire case. See CRC 2.816.

This is a petition to fill a vacancy in the office of trustee for a special needs trust. There are no individuals nominated by the settlor to serve in that capacity. Pursuant to Probate Code §15660, “if the trust instrument provides a practical method of appointing a trustee or names the person to fill the vacancy, the vacancy shall be filled as provided in the trust instrument” and if not “the vacancy may be filled by a trust company that has agreed to accept the trust on agreement of all adult beneficiaries” or “the court may, in its discretion, appoint a trustee to fill the vacancy.” When all else fails, the public guardian can be appointed as trustee if “no other qualified person is willing to act as trustee” and the public guardian consents. Probate Code §15660.5.

A trustee who presents with a potential conflict of interest is generally disqualified from appointment. See Probate Code §15642(b)(9). Petitioners here are in direct line to inherit the remaining balance of this trust, and at the same time granted “sole discretion” whether to use any of the trust assets for the benefit of the special needs recipient. See Art. II.C.3(a)(3). The trustee is further authorized to use funds to purchase real estate or benefit the settlor’s “other issue” (ie, Melanie). Since the balance of the special needs trust is potentially subject to Medi-Cal reimbursement, a trustee in line as residuary beneficiary has obvious pressures separate from caring for the special needs recipient. Given all these circumstances, this Court would prefer to see a professional fiduciary serve in the capacity as trustee. However, without knowing the amount in the special needs sub-trust, it is difficult to discern the financial benefit of a professional.

Probate Notes are not tentative rulings. Parties and counsel are expected to appear for the hearings unless this note indicates that “no appearance is

https://tuolumne-courts-ca-gov.zoomgov.com/j/1615813960?pwd=NTRMT0NwMDg5cnlYdzZ6VnBXWWFsUT09. [Meeting ID: 161 581 3960; Passcode: 123456].
All matters set for hearing in Department 5 are presumptively assigned to that department for all purposes. Parties retain the right under Cal. Const. art VI §21 to

This is a probate by-pass petition to confirm property passing to the surviving spouse. Pursuant to Probate Code §13500, “when a spouse dies intestate leaving property that passes to the surviving spouse under Section 6401, the property passes to the survivor” without the need for formal administration. Probate Code §6401 then describes three different types of property subject to potential by-pass, to wit: o Community property, 100% of which vests directly in the surviving spouse; o Quasi-CP, 100% of which vests directly in the surviving spouse; and o Separate property, 50% of which vests directly in the surviving spouse.

As set forth in the petition, APN 043-760-008/009 was acquired while decedent and petitioner were married but taken in decedent’s name alone “as his sole and separate property.” As explained by the courts in In re Brace (2020) 9 Cal.5th 903 (at 931-934), and Estate of Wall (2021) 68 Cal.App.5th 168 (at 174-175), in a proceeding involving heirs, the form of title held by decedent controls. This means that petitioner is presently entitled to only 50% of APN 043-760-008/009. Since she is seeking an order confirming 100% of APN 043-760-008/009, she is required to establish “by clear and convincing evidence” that decedent did not hold “full beneficial title.” See Evidence Code §662. Petitioner offers evidence that the loan was assumed in decedent’s name because he had better credit, but the loan and recorded title are two distinct things (which petitioner seems to conflate). Once the loan attached to the property, decedent was free to transfer by interspousal deed his interest into the community – yet he decided not to do that. Moreover, he decided not to create a will that would have made plain his alleged plan of action.

Nevertheless, since petitioner is described as a “borrower” on the refi Deed of Trust (doc 2019012334), claims that the down payment was from her own separate property source (see Para 3), and some portion of the debt presumably was paid down using community funds, it does appear as though petitioner acquired some beneficial title which would be recognized in family court. See Family Code §§ 760, 803, 2640. A supplemental declaration from petitioner clearly addressing her beneficial interest in the property will be needed. Moreover, additional effort to locate and give notice to the residual heirs is required.

Notice: Guardianship petitions require notice to the ward (§1460(b)(2)), which appears to have been accomplished. In light of the concerns raised at the previous hearing, notice was directed to be provided to the biological parents (§1202), but there is no proof of that having occurred.

Merits: It is generally understood that guardians have the right to subject wards to non-surgical medical treatment (§2353), but may not have the ward sterilized, admitted to a mental health facility, or subjected to experimental drugs/treatments without a specialized hearing. See §2356. For nonconsensual mental health care that does not rise to the level of involuntary institutionalism, a petition can be used but it must support with specificity and medical affidavits showing (1) the nature of the medical condition requiring treatment, (2) the recommended course, (3) the threat to the health of the ward if authorization to consent is delayed or denied, (4) the predictable or probable outcome of the recommended treatment, (5) medically available alternatives, if any, and (6) the efforts made to obtain an informed consent from the ward. See §2357(c).

Unless the ward consents, Court will be appointing minor’s counsel to assist in this evaluation.
