Yamamoto v. Parden CA6
In this probate action, appellant Sheila Velasco Yamamoto appeals from an order denying her motion for leave to file a third amended petition for a determination of entitlement to estate distribution under Probate Code section 11600. Respondent Euel T. Parden., Jr. (Parden, Jr.) is the trustee of the Parden Family Trust (the trust), established in 1993 by Parden, Jr.’s parents, Euel T. Parden, Sr. (Parden, Sr.) and Mary Batinich (Batinich). Yamamoto, who married Parden, Sr. after Batinich passed away in 2016, claims entitlement to a portion of the trust as an “omitted spouse” pursuant to sections 21610 through 21612. Parden, Jr. asserts that this court should dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because Yamamoto has appealed from a nonappealable order. Parden, Jr. also contends that the appeal, like the underlying petition and motion for leave to amend, is without merit.
