California Court of Appeal

In a longstanding, particularly acrimonious probate matter involving a family trust, challenging a probate court order permitting defendants-appellants, who are the former trustees of this trust, to withhold from the successor trustee and the sole non-contingent trust beneficiary, some, but not all, of a collection of documents identified on a supplemental privilege log submitted by the former trustees under court order, which document were withheld on the basis of attorney-client privilege, the probate court order is afirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded for reconsideration of the privilege status of the Privilege-Upheld documents.
