Absent the same, the Court is inclined to find that all of the requirements of Probate Code section 10313 (a)(1)-(6) are satisfied, that requested agent/broker fees are appropriate under section 10313(b), and that the sales to the identified buyers for the property is confirmed. Petitioner shall submit a proposed order.

16. PR0001015 In the Matter of Donna Chamberlain No appearances are required. The petition to determine succession to real property is denied. Pursuant to the attached Will of Donna Chamberlain, Petitioner Bruce Bell is one of multiple beneficiaries. However, the petition has not been joined by the remaining beneficiaries. Probate Code section 13151(a) permits the filing of this petition by the “successor of the decedent”. Probate Code section 13006(a) clarifies that the “Successor of the decedent” means “If the decedent died leaving a will, the sole beneficiary or all of the beneficiaries who succeeded to a particular item of property of the decedent under the decedent's will.” Accordingly, the Court must deny the petition as not all beneficiaries have joined in this request.
