California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District · Filed
Published · citable
Holding
The court held that, under the clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence standard articulated in *Estate of Duke*, the probate court properly equitably reformed Hanako Nelson’s pour‑over will to limit its residue clause to her separate‑property assets, and that the court’s findings on standing, community‑property allocation, and the non‑appealability of the attorney‑fee award were supported by substantial evidence and therefore affirmed. ---
