6. ESTATE OF PAMELA BEATTIE, 26PR0016
First and Final Account and Petition for Final Distribution (See Related Item No. 5)
This is an ancillary probate consisting of an undivided one-half interest in a limited
partnership known as “Pioneer Properties No. 1,” which owns a single parcel of
improved commercial real estate commonly known as 3816 Pioneer Trail in South Lake
Tahoe, California. The other one-half interest belongs to the decedent’s spouse.
The court notes that the inventory and appraisals filed in the related cases have
different values for their respective interests. James Beattie’s one-half interest is valued at $307,500 and Pamela Beattie’s one-half interest is valued at $206,500. It is the court’s
understanding that the different values are attributable to the respective dates of death:
Pamela Beattie died on February 3, 2015, and James Beattie died on January 19, 2025.
Estate assets are valued at their fair market value as of the date of death. (Prob. Code, §
8802.)
The court approves the request to award petitioner’s attorney statutory
compensation in the amount of $8,956.16.
