PROBATE CALENDAR JUNE 5, 2026

6. ESTATE OF CAMPAU, 24PR0341

Final Distribution Hearing

Pending before the court is the petition for final distribution filed May 28, 2026. As

an initial matter, the court notes there is no notice of hearing in the court’s file. (Prob.

Code, § 11601.)

Letters testamentary were issued on February 14, 2025. On April 16, 2026, the

executor filed the Final Inventory and Appraisal, indicating that the sole assets of the

estate include the real property located at 945 Trout Creek in South Lake Tahoe, California, and the furnishings at said property.

The decedent’s spouse predeceased her. The petition indicates there is only one

beneficiary, Page Roxanne Campau. However, the decedent’s will includes three

beneficiaries: (1) Page Roxanne Campau; (2) Michelle Louise Stein (the

petitioner/executor); and (3) Peter Throop Campau.

To date, no accounting has been submitted. Attached to the petition is a waiver of

account purportedly signed by Page Roxanne Campau. The court notes, however, that

the signature on the waiver is a “Docusign” signature that is unaccompanied by any

supporting documentation from Docusign (i.e., time, signor information, etc.). There is

also no waiver of account from Peter Throop Campau.

The petition requests 100 percent distribution to Page Roxanne Campau “with a note

payable to Michelle Stein in the amount of $464,160 for probate expenses.” Included in the expenses is a $413,210.36 expense incurred on June 6, 2025, to pay off the

mortgage on the decedent’s real property.1 There is no supporting documentation for

any of the alleged expenses. Additionally, the loan mortgage payoff is not a probate

expense. Rather, it would appear to be a creditor’s claim. (See Prob. Code, § 9000, et

seq.)

1 The petition to administer estate estimated the total encumbrances on decedent’s real

property to be $386,391.49.

PROBATE CALENDAR JUNE 5, 2026

There is no report of actions taken under the Independent Administration of Estates

Act. (See Cal. Rules of Ct., rule 7.250.)

The petition also makes generalized statements, such as: (1) “Notice to creditors was

duly given a required by law. The time for filing creditor claims has expired;” and (2) “All

debts, expenses of administration, taxes, and charges of the estate have been paid,

settled, or otherwise provided for by Michelle Stein.” However, these statements do

sufficiently address each of the specific tax compliance and notice requirements.

TENTATIVE RULING # 6: APPEARANCES ARE REQUIRED AT 8:30 A.M., FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 2026, IN DEPARTMENT FOUR.
