PROBATE NOTES & MORE, BP099211


Over, five months after the conservator for Edwina Fuller filed PC 850 with the court, and after Robert and Doris generated the Thelsey S. [sic] Fuller Trust with the help of THEIR attorney, Daniel K. Lak and after establishing POA . . . objections are filed?

Keep in mind that everything that was done by Daniel K. Lak was done for the benefit of Robert and Doris.

I'm positive that Thelsey could have called an attorney long before Robert and Doris hired Mr. Lak if he had a problem with adding his wife's name to ANY of the real propety in question.

Also, you can see that Robert and Doris removed $3,000.00 the very day Steven asked the court to put a hold on Daddy's bank account and the very next day removed most if not all of Thelsey's money [$235,000.00] from his account . . . calling it a "gift."

Alleges in question herein is the character of Thelsey's property at his d/d - if r/p located on 12th Ave. r/p was purchased with community property then the ocnsee is entitled to have it passed and confirmed to her, however, if that r/p is Thelsey's s/p, the crt must address the omission of the consee from the trust (Thelsey's?) & the allegation that consee's and Thelsey's marriage was dissolved by judgment in 1968
David Levin is the crt apptd pers rep of Thelsey's estate (BP 118616)
