Walters v. Napier
Kern County residents Edith G. and Casper S. McDonald were married in December 1959. Each spouse had two children from prior relationships. Plaintiffs, Ede-Ann Walters (Walters) and Harry Geyer III (Geyer), were children of Edith and defendants, Valerie Napier (Napier) and Gail Pedersen (Pedersen), were children of Casper. Edith died in 1985 and Casper died in 2004, never having remarried. Edith and Casper executed a living trust in 1983. The trust created separate A and B subtrusts. Trust A included the couples community property, including their residence. Trust B consisted of Ediths separate property. Defendants and plaintiffs were named as successor trustees of the living trust and signed the trust instrument as successor trustees.
