Estate of Holbrook

PROBATE CALENDAR AUGUST 7, 2026

2. ESTATE OF HOLBROOK, 26PR0191

Petition to Administer Estate

On June 25, 2026, petitioner Cassandra Holbrook (“petitioner” or “Ms. Holbrook”)

filed a petition to administer estate. To date, there is no proof of publication in the

court’s file. (Prob. Code, § 8120.) Additionally, the proof of service for the notice of

hearing, filed June 25, 2026, is not signed under penalty of perjury.

The instant petition makes no mention of the related case, Estate of Holbrook (El

Dorado Super. Ct., Case No. 23PR0048). In that case, on March 14, 2023, Robert Yorkus1 petitioned the court to administer the estate. Ms. Holbrook objected to Ms. Yorkus’s

appointment and, on April 19, 2023, filed a competing petition to administer estate. On

July 14, 2023, the court denied Ms. Holbrook’s petition and granted Ms. Holbrook’s

petition. However, on October 21, 2024, without letters of administration ever formally

being issued, Ms. Yorkus agreed to step down as personal representative of the estate;

and Ms. Holbrook indicated she would step in and complete the probate of the estate.

On November 8, 2024, the court formally relieved Ms. Yorkus as the personal

representative of the estate (ordering Ms. Yorkus to relinquish any and all financial

documents related to the estate to Ms. Holbrook’s attorney) and appointed the public

administrator to handle the affairs of the estate. Ms. Holbrook waived any further notice

of hearings in the related case.

Ultimately, the public administrator did not accept appointment due to the lack of any real assets in the estate.

On February 21, 2025, Ms. Yorkus provided Ms. Holbrook’s attorney the requested

financial documents in open court.
