Estate of Patterson CA4/2
This consolidated action involves probate petitions, a petition to contest the validity of a trust, and a civil complaint. Appellant, Audella Patterson, brought the trust petition and the civil complaint, both relating to her interest in real property in Brawley, California (the Brawley property). In these pleadings, Audella principally alleges that she held title to the Brawley property as a joint tenant with her deceased brother, David Patterson. Other family members allegedly divested her of this joint tenancy by influencing David to sever the joint tenancy and transfer the Brawley property to his trust. After a bench trial on the trust petition and civil complaint, the court entered a judgment adverse to Audella and in favor of the family members.
