Your right we do not know. I was talking about the two rataan chairs.

You say you have been in Probate for 17yrs. Regardless of how bad the behaviour of one side over the other isn't the bottom line that all involved follow court probate.

How would your firm deal with client A doing what the Rocha's did? Is that not why we have a probate to keep things civil.

No I am not saying power of of Attn. gave Petersons any rights to property.

This should been addressed by the courts if the two families were going to feud. Right or wrongly feuding.

Laci's tragic murder does not entitle her family to do things out of legal juristiction. It would have been wonderful for Jackie/Scaught Peterson to say we agree take what you feel will give you comfort but they didn't and it stinks. They are bad charactors and heartless but it still does not give the other side to disobey the State of California's probate system.

I agree that the ESTATE should be dealt with by Court Probate. However, I know that ALL of the Wills we prepare, have a clause in them in which the person may make specific bequests to certain people OR they make reference to specific bequests of items to be disbursed as set out as "contained in a list attached to this my Last Will and Testament". If the Peterson's were normal people, NONE of this would have happened. They would have been more than willing to let Sharon go into the house, grieve in her own way, and then take specific items of Laci's that were important to Laci and now important to her mom. I didn't say it was strictly legally right but I notice that Geragos is smart enough to now say that nothing will come of it. The DIFFERENCE in these two families has been Stark. The Rocha's are in no way deceitful, greedy or criminal people. To have to haggle to get a few things of your dead daughter's is criminal to me.
