SCHOENMANN, ESTATE OF 1) PETITION FOR ORDER TO ESTABLISH ESTATE S CLAIM OF OWNERSHIP TO PROPERTY; DIRECTING ITS TRANSFER OF ESTATE; ENFORCING AGREEMENT; FOR DAMAGES AND FOR ATTORNEY FEES filed for Stuart Gordon Schoenmann 2) HEARING ON DEMURRER TO EXECUTOR S PETITION file for 920 Powell St., LLC 3) EVIDENTIARY HEARING 1. Petition for Instructions regarding the sale of property filed by Lynn Schoenman is dismissed as moot and because L. Schoenmann lacks standing. 2. Executor s request to Order Sherwood Kingsley (CPA) to provide executor all of decedent s files will be granted. 3. Executor is to provide a status report concerning his ability to marshal the assets. 4. Tentative decision is to grant 920 Powell s demurrer. All parties agree (and the deed shows) that the property was held as community property. L. Schoenmann has sold her interest in the property (whatever that interest may be) to 920 Powell. Because Lynn Schoenman has sold whatever interest she may have had to 920 Powell, she is no longer a participant in the probate matter, and lacks standing. 5. If the court (after further discussion) denies the demurrer, we will set an evidentiary hearing on the 850 Petition.
