Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Where might I find law and rulings relevant to an estate in probate
paying the bills of another estate in probate? I thought an estate
stood alone, as created and indicated by statute. The executor of
the initial decedent's estate was compelled, after 10 months of possession
to bring the initial decedent's father's will to probate. The property was
not properly identified to title for 10 months. The executor, now of both
estates has semi combined them. The value of the 2nd decedent's estate
is carried at a 1981 value of 250000. It is also listed at 600000 in the initial
decedents estate.
I believe this bizarre concoction is illegal.
I've been searching code and law for months and haven't found much.
Solutions?
Perhaps a specific filing?
Maybe a declatory petition?
Thanks

Your question is not susceptible to a simple solution. It will require - first - a complete discussion of the facts, including a review of the governing documents. Then it will require an analysis of statutes and case law. You will need to hire an experienced probate attorney to accomplish this. I'm sorry that there is no easy answer.
