Probate Notes:
Appearances required.
A Petition for Internal Affairs (Prob. Code, §17200) was filed by Marjorie Arbuckle, et al. on April 19, 2024. Written objection to that petition was filed by Julie Martinez on May 2, 2024, placing this matter at issue, and requiring evidentiary hearing to resolve. (In re Estate of Lensch (2009) 177 Cal.App.4th 667, 676; Conservatorship of Farrant (2021) 67 Cal.App.5th 370, 377.)
Julie Martinez also filed what is effectively a Petition for Internal Affairs on May 8, 2024. Although the petition is titled “Petition to Appoint Julie Martinez Successor Trustee,” the pleading, in fact, cites to and operates as a petition for removal of Arbuckle as successor trustee (a matter of internal affairs of a trust). This petition received objection by Marjorie Arbuckle, et al. on June 5, 2024, and again on June 12, 2024, requiring evidentiary hearing to resolve.
Parties must come prepared to discuss any further discovery needs, trial estimates, and dates.
