Urick v. Urick, No. B278257 (D2d5 Oct. 5, 2017)

After Mother died, Sister, the trustee of Mother’s trust, petitioned for reformation of the trust to disinherit Brother. The trust docs contained a no contest clause, which Brother tried to enforce by filing a petition of his own. Sister responded with an anti-SLAPP motion, which the trial court granted.
