202200562522PRLA: In the Matter of Patrick Thomas Fansler 07/23/2026 in Department J6 Hearing on Petition for Final Distribution
Letters issued in this case on 4/7/22. No timely 12200 report was ever filed. This petition for final distribution was filed on 3/25/26, almost four years after the issuance of letters. The petition provides no valid reasons for the delay in closing this estate. The real properties were sold in June 2023 and the reappraisal for sale was filed on 10/31/23.
A final account is waived. Approve $7,507.95 in statutory fees to Petitioner and his counsel. The Court will deny the request for extraordinary attorney fees. (Prob. Code, §§ 10811, 12205.)
The proposed final distribution of the estate equally to the decedents four children is consistent with the laws of intestate succession. The share for Sara Fansler is to be reduced by $3,750 and the other three heirs to each receive $1,250 of the $3,750.
