9. PR0000597     In the Matter of the JOSHUA CAMBERLAN SPECIAL NEEDS TRUST #2
   No appearances are required.  

The 10 April 2024 unopposed petition for confirmation of appointment of trustee, for determination of bond, to determine construction of trust and to whom property shall pass, and for instructions, is granted as follows:

Confirmation of Trustee 

In the instant case, Barry Richards and Paige Millard, the then-serving limited conservators for Joshua Camberlan, sought to remove CAPS OF SANTA BARBARA (“CAPS”) as trustee, and took preliminary action to do so; however, CAPS ultimately resigned on December 18, 2023.  Under these circumstances, Section 4.2 of the trust mandated the procedure for selection of a successor: “a majority of the current income Beneficiaries (or their guardians, if minors) of any trusts created hereunder shall elect one or more Successor Trustees.” 

As of January 13, 2025, a majority of the then-current income beneficiaries, namely: conservatee Joshua Camberlan (through his conservators), CAPS (the PROVIDER OF EXPERT ADVICE) and MOMENTUM/WORK INC. (the DAY HABILITATION SERVICES PROVIDER), have either appointed Matthew Quentmeyer to serve as successor trustee or confirmed, ratified and consented to the same.  Matthew Quentmeyer is confirmed to be the valid and currently serving successor trustee pursuant to Section 4.2 of the trust.   In the alterative, he is appointed as trustee pursuant to the court’s discretionary authority under Probate Code section 15660.   

Bond

Pursuant to Probate Code section 15602(c), the court sets bond at $5,185,000.00.  Successor trustee shall secure a bond and file proof of the same with the court. 

Construction of Charitable Service Provider Distribution Provision 

Upon the death of the conservatee, the trust requires the trustee to distribute fifty percent (50%) of the remaining balance of the trust to the Nature Conservancy and “fifty percent (50%) to local charitable service providers that have been of assistance to [the conservatee] during his lifetime….”  Trust, Article 3, ¶ m.  The “portion of the Trust representing the DISTRIBUTION TO LOCAL SERVICE AGENCIES shall be allocated as follows[:]” 

80% of this share is to be distributed among JOSHUA’S SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES PROVIDERS serving from 2007 through the term of the Trust. Each year of incumbency will count as a Credit Year and the distribution to each SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES PROVIDER will be based on its proportion of the sum of Credit Years.

15% of this share is to be distributed among JOSHUA’S DAY HABILITATION SERVICES PROVIDERS serving from 2007 through the term of the Trust. Each year of incumbency will count as a Credit Year and the distribution to each DAY HABILITATION SERVICES PROVIDER will be based on its proportion of the sum of Credit Years.

5% of this share is to be distributed among PROVIDERS OF EXPERT ADVICE TO THE TRUSTEE serving from 2007 through the term of the Trust.

Each year of incumbency will count as a Credit Year and the distribution to each PROVIDER OF EXPERT ADVICE TO THE TRUSTEE will be based on its proportion of the sum of Credit Years.

Ibid.

The trust requires “service providers” to have 501(c)3 tax status (as a not-for-profit organization) to “be designated as an incumbent provider,” to be included on the trust’s “Schedule of Planned Distributions,” and ultimately to receive distributions.  See ibid.  Entities which lack such status do not qualify as local service agency beneficiaries under the trust.  NURSECORE and/or NURSECORE OF SANTA BARBARA are ineligible to meet the designation of incumbent service provider and are not local service agency beneficiaries.  BRIGHTSTAR and/or BRIGHTSTAR OF SANTA BARBARA are similarly ineligible to meet the designation of incumbent service provider and are not local service agency beneficiaries.  The rights and interests of NURSECORE and/or NURSECORE OF SANTA BARBARA and BRIGHTSTAR and/or BRIGHTSTAR OF SANTA BARBARA in the trust terminate based on these findings of ineligibility.  The court need not interpret and construct the term “local” in light of these findings. 

With respect to the SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES PROVIDERS, DEVEREUX-CALIFORNIA was the only designated incumbent service provider and had credit years from 2007–2016. There was no other incumbent provider with earned credit years; hence the pro-rata provision is inapplicable.  This entity is entitled to the full 80% share of the 50% distribution to local service agencies.

With respect to the DAY HABILITATION SERVICES PROVIDERS, MOMENTUM/WORK, INC. formerly UCP/WORK, INC. was the only designated incumbent service provider from 2007–2025. There was no other incumbent provider with earned credit years; hence the pro-rata provision is inapplicable.  This entity is entitled to the full 15% share of the 50% distribution to local service agencies.

With respect to the PROVIDERS OF EXPERT ADVICE TO THE TRUSTEE, CAPS was the designated incumbent service provider for 2007–2023.  There was no other incumbent provider with earned credit years; hence the pro-rata provision is inapplicable.  This entity is entitled to the full 5% share of the 50% distribution to local service agencies.

Petitioner shall prepare and lodge an appropriate order after hearing and shall serve a copy of the final order on all interested parties with an appropriate proof of service. 

10. PR0000667     In the Matter of CYNTHIA E. DELL
    Appearances are required. The parties shall be prepared to confirm the June 17, 2025 hearing regarding petitioner/administrator Morgan’s February 14, 2025, petition to identify heirs (alleged heirs Roloff, Long and Webb) and his February 14, 2025 petition for instructions (regarding an alleged real property lease/purchase agreement with Roloff).  Petitioner has presented a witness list with time estimates.  Any other party presenting evidence shall be prepared to identify all witnesses and time estimates for the same.
     

 11. PR0000754     In the Matter of BONITA A. BRAND 
No appearances are required.  The petition to administer the estate is granted as prayed. The court, upon reconsideration, concludes that notice to Grant Pitchess or any potential heir(s) of the same is not required.  The will includes a provision that all beneficiaries must survive decedent for 45 days to receive property under the will.  Given this expression of “contrary intention,” any issue of Grant Pitchess, a deceased transferee, would not take in the transferee’s place.  See Probate Code section 2110 (b).   

May 30, 2025 Probate Tentative Rulings

1. P01-13326      In the Matter of Wilfred Martinez
   No appearances are required.  Notice of the petition for the eleventh account and report does not appear to have been provided to the conservatee. See Prob. Code § 1460(b)(2).  The court continues this matter to August 1, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in Department 6.  Petitioner shall provide notice of the continued date as required by law.  Additionally, Petitioner shall submit a supplemental declaration clarifying the “unknown charges” referenced in the summary of account.
    
2. P15-15875      In the Matter of Sharon Beatty
   Petitioner Paul Manka’s request for statutory and extraordinary attorney’s fees is denied without prejudice.  Petitioner seeks attorney’s fees for work performed on behalf of Lori A. Greeninger, to include the filing of a request for approval of first and final account and report and petition for settlement.  However, that petition has not yet been approved; as such, petitioner’s request is premature.  Additionally, Probate Code section 10814 states, “If there are two or more attorneys for the personal representative, the attorney's compensation shall be apportioned among the attorneys by the court according to the services actually rendered by each attorney or as agreed to by the attorneys.”  Since the first and final account has not yet been settled, the court is unable to determine the applicability of section 10814 under these circumstances. 

   Mark Dobson’s unopposed request that estate property be turned over to Benjamin Harvey, Esq., is granted.  Counsel Manka is directed to turn over 125 Troy ounces of silver and keys to Lori Greeninger’s storage unit to Counsel Harvey pending further order of the court.  Counsel Harvey is ordered to maintain those items in a safe deposit box and provide evidence of compliance within five court days of this order.  The items shall not be accessed without further order of the court.

3. P20-16684      In the Matter of Dickie Marra
   An appearances is required.  Petitioner shall explain why four plus years (since October 2020) were required to complete administration of this estate.  The court is favorably inclined to grant the petition for final distribution. 
    
4. P22-16995      In the Matter of Phyllis Graham

7. PR0000069     In the Matter of Tracy Freeman
   On the court’s motion, this matter is continued until 10:00 a.m., as part of the regular law and motion calendar.

Nicole Medina and Mitchell Freeman’s unopposed January 28, 2025, motion to intervene in the probate action (PR0000069) is granted.  These individuals claim an interest relating to the property or transaction that is the subject of the action and they are so situated that the disposition of the action may impair or impede their ability to protect that interest.  See Code of Civil Procedure section 387(d)(1).      

Medina and Freeman’s January 28, 2025, motion to expunge lis pendens is granted.

“A lis pendens is a recorded document giving constructive notice that an action has been filed affecting title to or right to possession of the real property described in the notice.” Kirkeby v. Superior Court (2004) 33 Cal.4th 642, 647. 

“The Supreme Court outlined the law governing the statutory scheme pertaining to the recording of a lis pendens and the procedure applicable to expunging an improperly recorded notice in Kirkeby v. Superior Court of Orange County (2004) 33 Cal.4th 642, 647[.]”  Campbell v. Superior Court (2005) 132 Cal.App.4th 904, 911.

“A lis pendens may be filed by any party in an action who asserts a ‘real property claim.’ Code of Civ. Proc. § 405.20.  Section 405.4 defines a ‘ “Real property claim” ’ as ‘the cause or causes of action in a pleading which would, if meritorious, affect ... title to, or the right to possession of, specific real property....’ ‘If the pleading filed by the claimant does not properly plead a real property claim, the lis pendens must be expunged upon motion under CCP 405.31.’

“Section 405.30 allows the property owner to remove an improperly recorded lis pendens by bringing a motion to expunge. There are several statutory bases for expungement of a lis pendens, including [that the] claimant's pleadings, on which the lis pendens is based, do not contain a real property claim. See § 405.31.  Unlike most other motions, when a motion to expunge is brought, the burden is on the party opposing the motion to show the existence of a real property claim. See § 405.30.”

Id. at 911 (citation, footnotes, quotations and parentheses omitted).

“The Kirkeby court also discussed the law governing a trial court's determination of a motion to expunge under section 405.31 and the standard of review applicable on appeal[.]”  Ibid.

“Section 405.31 provides: ‘In proceedings under this chapter, the court shall order the notice expunged if the court finds that the pleading on which the notice is based does not contain a real property claim.’ In making this determination, the court must engage in a demurrer-like analysis. ‘Rather than analyzing whether the pleading states any claim at all, as on a general demurrer, the court must undertake the more limited analysis of whether the pleading states a real property claim.’  Review ‘involves only a review of the adequacy of the pleading and normally should not involve evidence from either side, other than possibly that which may be judicially noticed as on a demurrer.’  Therefore, review of an expungement order under section 405.31 is limited to whether a real property claim has been properly pled by the claimant. ”

Ibid.  (citations omitted).

Here, the underlying petition does not contain a real property claim.  In summary, the operative petition alleges as follows:

This Petition arises from Nicole [Medina]'s bad-faith and unlawful distribution to herself and to her brother Mitchell [Freeman] an aggregate $1.45 million from their parents' estates without notice or court approval. eCapital had filed two Creditor's Claims against their parents' estates – the respective estates of Tracy Freeman ("Tracy Estate") and David Freeman ("David Estate") (collectively, the "Freeman Estates") relating to a spousal community debt that Tracy incurred during her life when she defaulted under her personal guaranty of the Loan (defined below) from eCapital to Tracy's business Volume Snacks, Inc. ("Volume Snacks"). Rather than restore the $1.45 million pending the resolution of eCapital's Creditor's Claims, Nicole and Mitchell spent the money so distributed, and Nicole (then serving as Personal Representative of the David Estate) baselessly rejected the Creditor's Claim filed in the David Estate. The looting, distribution, and expenditure of $1.45 million was intended as a blatant, bad-faith scheme to hinder and delay eCapital's collection of its Creditor's Claims.

12/5/24 Pet. ¶ 1.

As a result of this alleged misconduct, petitioner requests the court, among other things, for an order:

(1) requiring Nicole and Mitchell to return $1.45 million to the Tracy Estate (or alternatively, the David Estate) under Probate Code section 850, (2) for injunctive relief under Probate Code section 856 prohibiting Nicole and Mitchell from transferring, selling, or encumbering any real or personal property that they have acquired, obtained, or improved with the $1.45 million they received from the Freeman Estates. 

Ibid. 

Title of Medina and Freeman’s real property is not at issue in the petition.  Rather, the petition alleges that Medina/Freeman received funds unlawfully and seeks to enjoin Medina and Freeman from disposing of any real property they have acquired, obtained or improved with those funds.  “[A] claim that seeks an interest in real property merely for the purpose of securing a money damage judgment does not support the recording of a lis pendens.”  Campbell, 132 Cal.App.4th at 912 (and cases cited therein).  Petitioner’s allegations do not affect title or possession of the real property at issue.  See Urez Corp. v. Superior Court (1987) 190 Cal.App.3d 1141, 1149; La Paglia v. Superior Court (1989) 215 Cal.App.3d 1322, 1325, 1327.

To the extent that a result to the contrary would be possible under either Okuda v. Superior Court (1983) 144 Cal.App.3d 135, 141 (cited by petitioner) or Coppinger v. Superior Court (1982) 134 Cal.App.3d 883, 891, the court finds these cases to be unpersuasive and declines to follow them.  See Campbell, 132 Cal.App.4th at 918–919. (“We agree with Urez and the cases that follow it that to allow a party to record a lis pendens in a case in which the party seeks only “to freeze the real property as a res from which to satisfy a money judgment” …, is not consistent with the history and purpose of the lis pendens statutes and conclude that the Urez line of cases is more consistent with the history and purpose of the lis pendens statutes than are Coppinger and Okuda.”). 

Moreover, Newell v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County (2024) 107 Cal.App.5th 728, is readily distinguishable and does not compel a result to the contrary.  See Newell, 107 Cal. App. 5th at 737 (“[I]f [trustee] Rollins fails to establish by clear and convincing evidence [decedent] Arthur's donative transfer to her was not the product of fraud or undue influence, the court may remove Rollins as trustee. The court would have to designate a new trustee of the trust, who would then be entitled to hold title to the Van Nuys property in his or her name as successor trustee. In that event, [the instant] petition would change the name of the titleholder.”)(italics added).

In sum, the lis pendens recorded against the parcels of real property for Medina and Freeman are expunged.

There is a split of authority in the state as to whether a claim that seeks an interest in real property merely for the purpose of securing a money damage judgment supports the recording of a lis pendens. See Campbell v. Superior Court, 132 Cal.App.4th at 912 (citing majority and minority positions).  The 1992 amendments to the lis pendens statutes took no position regarding this issue and left it to future judicial development.  Id. at 915-916.  The court finds that petitioner acted with substantial justification in opposing the motion based on a good faith theory supported by existing law, including Okuda, and that it would be unjust to impose an award of attorney’s fees and costs under these circumstances.  The court denies Medina and Freeman’s request for attorney’s fees and costs. 

8. PR0000207     In the Matter of Marcia Bauer
   Appearances are required by Administrator Morgan Rains regarding petitioner Carol Nimick’s petition for a status report regarding administration of the estate and for an order to show cause regarding why a petition for final distribution should not be filed.  Administrator Rains shall be prepared to address questions (a) through (e) of the petition at p. 4, line 24, to p. 5, line, 9.  The administrator shall also address the question of when a petition for final distribution shall be filed. 
    
9. PR0000597     In the Matter of Joshua Christian Chamberlain Special Needs Trust #2
   No appearances are required.  The court has received the request for dismissal filed by petitioner and trustee; the dismissal has been entered as requested. 
    
10. PR0000635     In the Matter of Sharri-Anne Renea Adams
    Appearances are required by counsel for the conservator and conservatee.  The amended petition for appointment of a probate conservator of the person is granted as prayed.  Counsel shall confirm that appropriate orders have been lodged in connection with the amended petition. 
     
11. PR0000659     In the Matter of Ian Fredrick Ayton
    Appearances are not required.  Conservatorship of the person and estate is granted as prayed.  Julie Yates and Janet Mourning shall serve as the conservators.  Letters shall issue.
     
12. PR0000676     In the Matter of Ralph Berger
    No appearances are required.  The petition for an order confirming successor trustee and trust assets is granted in part, namely prayers for relief one through four related to the validity of the trust, its amendments and its trustee. 

The court denies the fifth request for relief requesting a declaration that the subject property, i.e., 2440 S. Hacienda Boulevard, unit 225, Hacienda Heights, California, is subject to the management and control of the trustee. 

 “It is well established that if two specific requirements are met, real property may be made part of a trust's assets without a separate deed transferring property to the trust.”  Ukkestad v. RBS Asset Finance, Inc. (2015) 235 Cal.App.4th 156, 160, citing Estate of Heggstad (1993) 16 Cal.App.4th 943, 947–950. 

“The first requirement is that the owner of real property is the settlor creating the trust with himself or herself as the trustee.”  Ibid.  That requirement is satisfied here.  Decedents/settlors Richard and Bertha Berger were owners of the subject property and created a trust naming themselves as co-trustees.  

“Second, because a conveyance of real property is at issue, the other requirement for transferring real property to a trust is compliance with the statute of frauds.”  Ibid.. citing Heggstad, 16 Cal.App.4th at 948.  “Specifically, the statute of frauds in Probate Code section 15206 states: ‘A trust in relation to real property is not valid unless evidenced ...: [¶] (a) By a written instrument signed by the trustee .... [¶] (b) By a written instrument conveying the trust property signed by the settlor .... [¶] (c) By operation of law.’ ” Id. at 161 (italics added).  That requirement is not satisfied here by sufficient, credible evidence.  Neither the trust itself (Ex. L to Petition), the description of Berger Trust Property as part of the trust (Ex. M), nor the assignment of deed of trust (Ex. J) expressly convey or reasonably can be construed to convey the subject property itself to the trust.   “Although [petitioner’s declaration] related the [settlors’ purported beliefs or] intent that [the subject property] was to be [part of] the trust property, the statute of frauds “forbids the creation of an express trust in real property by verbal declaration of the owner.” Osswald v. Anderson (1996) 49 Cal.App.4th 812, 818.

 

13. PR0000692     In the Matter of Terry McGowan
    No appearances are required.  The petition for an order approving modification of trust terms under Prob. Code section 15403 is granted as prayed. 
     
14. PR0000710     In the Matter of Miller Ernest Harper
    No appearances are required.  The court notes there is no original will or proof of publication submitted by petitioner.  Petitioner shall file the same prior to next hearing date.  Additionally, petitioner shall clarify the status of George Sill; specifically, is he the named executor (as suggested by the will) or an alternate executor?  On its own motion, the Court continues this matter to May 9, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. in Department 6 for further hearing on the petition.  Petitioner shall provide notice of the continued court date.
     
15. PR0000712     In the Matter of Zane Davis
    No appearances are required.  On its own motion, the court continues this matter to May 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in Department 6.  Petitioners shall file a declaration that indicates whether they are seeking full or limited authority to administer under the Independent Administration of Estates Act, question 2.c. of the petition for probate (form DE-111).  There is no proof that the petition has been served and that notice of the hearing has been provided as required by Probate Code sections 8100 and 8110.  Petitioners shall serve and provide notice to each heir, devisee, executor and alternate executor named in any will as required.  Finally, Petitioners shall file an executed duties and liabilities of personal representative (form DE-147).  The above referenced items shall be completed no later than one week prior to next court date.  Petitioners shall give notice of the continued hearing date to all required parties.
     
16. PR0000714     In the Matter of Dylan Melanson
    No appearance is required.  The court, on its own motion, appoints Katherine Lenore, Esq., to represent conservatee.  Additionally, the court is not in receipt of a report from Alta Regional Center as required by Prob. Code section 1827.5 or from Quest Intelligence as required by Prob. Code section 1826.  On its own motion, the court continues this matter to May 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. in Department 6, for receipt of the reports and update from counsel.  A copy of the minute order shall be served by the clerk on Alta Regional Center, Quest Intelligence, and counsel for the conservatee.

These are the Court’s tentative rulings.  In order to argue at the hearing, you must notify the parties and, thereafter, notify the clerk’s office by email at OA@nccourt.net or by calling (530)362-4309 by 4:00 p.m. the court day prior to the date and time set for hearing.  If you do not so notify all other parties and the Court, the tentative ruling shall become the final ruling of the Court.  See California Rule of Court 3.1308, Local Rule 4.05.3.

Personal appearances are permitted.  You may also appear via video by arranging a remote appearance at the time notice of request for oral argument.

Unless the Court orders otherwise, the Court does not provide court reporters for case management conferences.  Any litigant who wants a record of a case management conference must arrange for the presence of a court reporter at his or her expense.  See Local Rule 10.00.3 B.

13. CU0001788          Robert Tonnies v. Mark Gold

Appearances are required.

Defendant’s motion for attorney’s fees is granted in part.

Preliminarily, plaintiff filed an untimely opposition that does not contain proof of service on the defendant. In the court’s discretion, the court has read and considered the opposition.

As to the merits, Welfare & Institutions Code section 15657.03 provides: “The prevailing party in an action brought under this section may be awarded court costs and attorney’s fees, if any.” (Italics added). This provision does not define “prevailing party.”

Courts interpreting similar provisions in the context of civil harassment petitions have looked to Code of Civil Procedure section 1032 to define prevailing party. See Adler v. Vaicius (1993) 21 Cal.App.4th 1770, 1777 (“Since [Code of Civil Procedure] section 527.6 does not define “prevailing party,” the general definition of “prevailing party” in section 1032 may be used.”); Elster v. Friedman (1989) 211 Cal.App.3d 1439, 1443(same).

Code of Civil Procedure section 1032(a)(4) provides: “ ‘Prevailing party’ includes ... a defendant in whose favor a dismissal is entered, a defendant where neither plaintiff nor defendant obtains any relief, and a defendant as against those plaintiffs who do not recover any relief against that defendant.” Any award of attorney’s fees is discretionary. See Krug v. Maschmeier (2009) 172 Cal.App.4th 796, 802 (“decision whether to award attorney fees to a prevailing party—plaintiff or defendant—under section 527.6(i) is a matter committed to the discretion of the trial court.”).

“Courts construing statutes that contain attorney fees provisions that do not define the term ‘prevailing party,’ . . . have adopted th[e] practical approach to determine the recoverability of attorney fees in pretrial voluntary dismissal cases.” Castro v. Superior Court (2004) 116 Cal.App.4th 1010, 1020. “Under the practical approach, the court determines the prevailing party by analyzing which party realized its litigation objectives.” Id. at 1019; see, e.g., Santisas v. Goodin (1998) 17 Cal.4th 599, 614-23.

In the present case, the action was voluntarily dismissed by petitioner after respondent filed a detailed factual response in the companion case, CU0001791. The court concludes that respondent was the prevailing party that realized their litigation objectives.

Thus, the motion for attorney’s fees is granted. Reasonable fees are $1,837.50 (6.125 hours at $300.00 per hour).
