California Court of Appeal

Reversing a probate court order granting the special motion to strike a petition filed by a beneficiary filing a petition for instructions as to whether the 'no contest' clause of his mother's trust had been violated after his sister sought to reform the trust to eliminate his interest because although the plain language of the anti-SLAPP statute applies to petitions to enforce a no contest clause the brother still managed to establish the minimal merit necessary to show a probability of success at this stage.
