B339383
California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District · Filed

Holding
The court held that Lucy Mancini Newell’s petition, as supplemented, does contain a real‑property claim within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure § 405.4 because a successful challenge to the trust amendments would alter the identity of the trustee holding legal title to the Van Nuys property; consequently, the probate court erred in expunging the lis pendens and must deny Rollins’s motion. ---
