Petition Re: Trust Administration
On May 08, 2026, petitioner Simone Kaplan filed a petition requesting the court to
(1) assume jurisdiction over trust; (2) confirm trustee; (3) compel turnover of source
documentation for accounting; (4) settle accounts; (5) review acts of trustee; (6) set
aside any improper acts of trustee; (7) compel redress of breach of trust; (8) remove
trustee; and (9) appoint alternative trustee or receiver, or alternatively, compel trustee
to perform duties. On July 15, 2026, the respondent trustee Andree Brulhart filed a response, which is
78 pages long (including exhibits) and which the court needs additional time to fully
review and consider. Petitioner also needs sufficient time to reply. The court, on its own
motion and in the interest of justice, continues the hearing on the petition to
July 31, 2026. Petitioner shall file a reply no later than July 24, 2026.
