In re The Joseph Schrage Revocable Trust CA2/7
Alexis Taylor Schrage, former trustee of the Joseph Schrage Revocable Trust (Trust), appeals from a May 18, 2021 probate court judgment granting Leonard Schrage’s petition under Probate Code section 850 for an order that the proceeds from the life insurance policies in the name of Leonard’s deceased brother Joseph Schrage are subject to Leonard’s claim based on a 2019 civil judgment Leonard obtained against Joseph and another brother, Michael Schrage. Alexis also appeals from the probate court’s order granting Leonard’s ex parte application to suspend Alexis’s powers as trustee and to appoint an interim successor trustee.
While this appeal was pending, on September 2, 2021 we reversed the 2019 judgment, concluding Leonard did not have standing to assert an individual cause of action against Joseph and Michael for breach of fiduciary duty. (Schrage v. Schrage (2021) 69 Cal.App.5th 126, 158.)
