The Court notes several deficiencies in the Petition to Determine Succession to Primary Residence, including (1) it is unclear whether the Petitioner is the spouse, fiancé, or registered domestic partner of the Decedent based on the inconsistencies in the Petition and various documents attached thereto; (2) There is no Attachment 11 with the legal description and the Assessor's Parcel Number of the real property; (3) the Decedent's Will identifies two children: Kayla Saise and Alfonso Saise III, however Estate of: Saise, it is not indicated at Paragraph 9.a.(5) that the Decedent was survived by a child, nor was notice 9:00 26PR00131 Alfonso, Jr provided to either of these individuals as required by Probate Code section 13151(b); (4) Petitioner has marked the incorrect box at Paragraph 15; and (5) the Will does not appear to include any dispositive provisions, so the Court concludes, based on what has been submitted, that there are insufficient facts upon which the Petitioner bases the allegation that the described property is property passing to the Petitioner (Probate Code section 13152(a)(4)).
