Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Special Request, section 1250
I submitted a request for Special Notice to the attorney of the estate's Personal Representative. In response, the attorney sent me a letter, stating that there is ''no legal basis'' for my request, and if I were not to withdraw my request, the attorney will file a Motion with the court to discharge my request and recover from me all attorney fees and costs due to my request for Special Notice. Is this really possible/likely, not only for the court to dismiss my request, but to have to pay attorney fees and costs for simply filing a request under section 1250? How can ''legal basis'' to file this request be determined?
Thank you for any insight.

The attorney may be asserting that you are not an "interested person" as defined in Probate Code Section 48.
