California Court of Appeal

In a probate matter arising from a petition by respondents to recharacterize the total value of the estate of the descendant, judgment by the trial court ordering the return of $136,000 to the estate is reversed as barred by the doctrine of res judicata nearly two years after the probate court approved a settlement of a will contest.
