4 Fred Erwin Davis (Estate) Case No. 10CEPR00810 Atty Dias, Michael A. (for Warren Leslie Davis – Son – Petitioner) Atty Farley, Michael L. (of Visalia, for Mary M. Davis – Surviving Spouse – Executor) Petition for Removal of Mary M. Davis as Executor of Estate Compelling Account and Report of Administration of Estate Appointment of Lynette Lucille Duston and Warren Leslie Davis as Successor Co-Executors of Estate, Removal of Mary M. Davis as Trustee of The Testamentary Trusts, Compelling Account and Report information Regarding the Testamentary Trusts and Appointment of Warren Leslie Davis as Successor Trustee of the Testamentary Trust [Prob. C. 8420, 8421, 8500, 8501, 8502, 8800, 8804, 10950, 10952, 12200, 12204, 12205, 15642, 15645, 15660, 15680, 16420 and 17200(b)]

DOD: 7-9-10 WARREN LESLIE DAVIS, Son, is Petitioner. MARY M. DAVIS, Surviving Spouse, was appointed Executor with Full IAEA without bond on 10-18-10. Petitioner states more than 18 months have elapsed since the issuance of Letters and Mary has neither filed an account nor a status report. Petitioner objects to the continuation of Mary as personal representative of the estate and seeks to remove her pursuant to Probate Code §§ 8502, 8804 for the following reasons:

Mary has wrongfully neglected the estate and has long neglected to perform any act as personal representative.

Mary has failed to file an inventory and appraisal.

Mary has wasted, embezzled, mismanaged, and committed a fraud on the estate. Mary has, inter alia, admitted during a deposition that she has liquidated assets of the Decedent’s estate, which were specific bequests to one of the petitioners to pay for her attorney’s fees and costs in her two civil actions against Petitioner. (See declaration of Alicia Wrest attached.)

Mary is incapable of properly executing the duties of the office. Mary is 86 years old and has made unsubstantiated claims for elder abuse in a pending case against one of the beneficiaries and has therein made representations that she is susceptible to undue influence.

The Court has the power to remove a personal representative for other cause such as adverse interest or hostile acts. Cites referenced.

Removal is necessary to protect the estate and its heirs. Mary should also be ordered to account and show the condition of the estate.

Furthermore it is proper for the Court to reduce Mary’s and her attorneys’ compensation.

SEE ADDITIONAL PAGES

NEEDS/PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: Note: Demurrer is set for hearing on 9-19-12. The Court may continue this matter. Note: Inventory and Appraisal and First Account are overdue. The original petition estimated the value of the estate at approx. $3,060,000.00. 1. Petitioner seeks to have his mother

removed as both Executor of this estate and as trustee of the testamentary trusts created under Decedent’s will. However, any requests regarding the trusts must be brought separately under appropriate code and pursuant to Local Rule 7.1.2. Accordingly, within this estate case, the Court can only make orders relating to this estate and its administration.

2. Petitioner states Mary currently has two (2) pending actions against beneficiaries involving trust property. Need clarification as to how any property is trust property, as no account or final distribution has been made from this estate to any trust. Examiner notes that Court records indicate one case has been dismissed and the other was stayed pending arbitration in June 2012. See additional notes on additional page.

Dept. 303, 9:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 29, 2012

4 Fred Erwin Davis (Estate) Case No. 10CEPR00810 Petitioner states he and his sister LYNETTE LUCILLE DUSTON are nominated as successor co-executors in Decedent’s will. Petitioner requests that they be appointed as successor co-executors to serve with full IAEA without bond. Petitioner further states that Mary M. Davis is the nominated trustee of the testamentary trusts created under the will. Petitioner objects to the continuation of Mary as trustee of the testamentary trusts and hereby seeks to remove her as trustee because she has breached the trusts, is insolvent and unfit to administer the trusts. Petitioner provides a list of reasons with reference to Probate Code §§16060-16062 and §§16002-16009. Examiner’s note: As noted in NEEDS/PROBLEMS/COMMENTS #1 above, trust issues cannot be addressed together with estate issues in this estate case. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1.2, a separate matter must be established. As such, Examiner has not reviewed the sections relating to the request for removal of Mary as trustee. Petitioner prays as follows: 1. That citation issue to Mary M. Davis to show cause why she should not be removed as personal representative

and as trustee of the testamentary trusts; 2. For an order to remove Mary M. Davis as personal representative and revoke her Letters; 3. For an order to appoint Petitioner and Lynette Lucille Duston as personal representatives of the estate with full

IAEA without bond; 4. For an order for Mary M. Davis to file an account within 60 days of her removal; 5. For an order that Mary M. Davis surrender all estate property in her possession to the successor co-executors; 6. To remove Mary M. Davis as trustee of the testamentary trusts; 7. To appoint Petitioner or any suitable person as successor trustee; 8. For an order that Mary M. Davis make an accounting and surrender all property in her possession belonging to

the testamentary trust to a duly qualified successor trustee; 9. For attorney’s fees and costs of suit incurred herein; 10. For such other orders and further relief as the Court deems just and proper. Mary M. Davis filed a Demurrer that is set for hearing on 9-19-12 on the following grounds: 1. There is a defect or misjoinder of parties; 2. It fails to state facts sufficient to support any cause of action for removal; and 3. It is uncertain, including ambiguous and unintelligible. Points and Authorities provided. Objector also filed an Objection to the Declaration of Alicia D. Wrest in support of the Petition is hearsay and inadmissible herein. Cites provided. Note: The parties reference “unrelated litigation” involving allegations of elder abuse and influence: 11CECG00872 Mary M. Davis v.

Distribution (Prob. C. 1860(a), 1861(a)(1)(b), 2620)

DOD: 02/28/12 CAROL LEWIS, Conservator, is Petitioner.

Account period: 04/27/11 – 02/28/12

Accounting - $75,126.41

Beginning POH - $70,000.00

Ending POH - $45,992.01

Account period: 02/29/12 – 04/30/12

Accounting - $45,992.01

Beginning POH - $45,992.01

Ending POH - $28,356.99

Conservator - waived

Attorney - $13,950.14 (already

paid to Quinlan, Kershaw & Fanucchi per

Schedule C of Accounting. $8,416.14 for

“conservatorship fees for estate work” and

$5,534.00 for “fees and costs, services to

conservatorship”. No itemization of fees and

costs is provided.)

Costs - $460.50 (already

reimbursed to Quinlan, Kershaw & Fanucchi per

Schedule C of Accounting. Costs are not

itemized.)

Petitioner prays for an Order:

1. Approving, allowing and settling the first

and final account;

2. Terminating the conservatorship and

discharging the conservator upon the

filing of an Ex Parte Petition for Final

Discharge and Order; and

3. Distributing the remaining assets of the

conservatorship to the Estate of James R.

Eaton, and that the Estate of James R.

Eaton immediately pay said funds to

Carol Lopez, as the sole surviving heir of

the conservatee, pursuant to the

Disclaimer of Interest executed by Mark

Eaton and Victoria Milo.

NEEDS/PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: 1. Schedule C of the Accounting

states that $13,950.14 in attorney’s

fees and $460.50 in costs have been

paid to Quinlan, Kershaw &

Fanucchi. It appears that this

payment of fees was made without

court order in violation of Probate

Code § 2647, which states that no

attorney’s fees may be paid from

the estate of the conservatee

without prior court order. Need

reference to court order authorizing

fees that have been paid.

2. No itemization of the fees and costs

is provided, therefore, the Court is

unable to determine whether the

fees and costs are just and

reasonable and allowable pursuant

to Local Rule 7.16, California Rules of

Court § 7.751. Need itemization of

fees and costs paid to Quinlan,

Kershaw & Fanucchi.

3. The Petition states that Mark Eaton

and Victoria Milo, children of the

predeceased spouse of the

conservatee have executed a

Disclaimer of Interest in favor of

Carol Lopez and that said

Disclaimers will be on file prior to the

hearing on this accounting. As of

08/27/12, no Disclaimers have been

filed.

4. Need original billing statements from

residential care facility The Harvest

pursuant to Probate Code §

2620(c)(5).

Allowing Compensation for Services Rendered (Prob. C. 11640)

DOD: 8/13/2011 VICKI S. MELLO, Executor, is petitioner.

Accounting is waived.

I & A - $1,100,000.00

Distribution, pursuant to Decedent’s

Will, is to:

Vicki S. Mello – 100% interest in 3

parcels of real property located in

Fresno County.

NEEDS/PROBLEMS/COMMENTS:

1. Need Franchise Tax Board

Clearance. On the filings of a final

account or report, if the estate

exceeds $1,000,000 at the date of

death and if $250,000 or more is

distributable to nonresident

beneficiaries, the certificate of the

California Franchise Tax Board

required by Revenue and Taxation

Code § 19513 must be on file.

2. Costs include $45.00 to Tri County

Court Services for filing documents

with the Court. Local Rule 7.17B

considers court runner services to be

a part of the cost of doing business

and therefore not reimbursable.

7 Suzanne Rae Boyles (7660) Case No. 11CEPR01016 Atty Kruthers, Heather H (for the Public Administrator)

Petition for an Order Approving Extraordinary Commissions for the Public

Administrator (Prob. C. 7666)

DOD: 7/19/11 PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR/ADMINISTRATOR of

the Estate is petitioner.

Petitioner states he was appointed as

Administrator of the estate under Probate

Code 7660.

In the course of the administration of the

estate the Public Administrator’s office has

performed extraordinary services regarding

the sale of the Decedent’s real property.

Pursuant to Local Rule 7.18(B)(1) the

reasonable fee for such services is $1,000.00.

In addition, Petitioner filed the First and Final

Fiduciary tax return for this estate. The

reasonable value of such services is $248.00.

Furthermore, the Public Administrator has

performed extraordinary services regarding

the sale of decedent’s miscellaneous

personal property. The reasonable fee for

such services is $191.90.

Therefore, Petitioner prays for an Order that:

The Court authorize payment to the Fresno

County Public Administrator of $1,439.90 as

reasonable compensation for extraordinary

services to the estate.
