Estate of Ladley CA3
This appeal concerns the distribution of real property from the estate of Susan Rae Ladley (Susan). Susan died intestate and without issue in 2017. She was survived by five siblings; appellants Robert A. Lewis, Debra L. Cane, Julia L. Askew, Steven R. Lewis, and Lynette K. McAliney (together, Susan’s siblings).
Susan was predeceased by her husband of 31 years, Carl Edward Ladley (Carl). Carl had three surviving children from a previous marriage; respondent Margaret Sanford (Sanford), Kelly Marie Gherardi, and Brian Alan Ladley (together, Carl’s children).
Carl’s children and Susan’s siblings asserted competing interests in Susan’s estate. Among other things, Carl’s children and Susan’s siblings each claimed entitlement to real property in South Lake Tahoe (the South Lake Tahoe property).
