California Court of Appeal

Estate of Rossi, C049330

Holding that proposed probate petitions would not violate the no contest clauses in a will and declaration of trust is affirmed over claims that: 1) the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction where the Probate Code section 21320 application was defective as a matter of law; and 2) section 21305(a)(3) does not apply to the proposed petition to invalidate the second amendment to the trust.
