Holding
The court held that a debtor's attempt to conceal the existence of a debt owed to a decedent's estate does not constitute "concealment of property" under Probate Code section 612, and that a negotiable instrument never delivered to the payee does not become property of the payee or their estate, thus precluding liability for double damages under that statute.
