Evans v. Sheen
Eugenia Ringgold created a trust and subsequently modified it by interlineation to change the first successor trustee to Tracy Sheen. After Ringgolds death, Sheen[1] petitioned to be named trustee. Nathalee Evans, the second listed successor trustee, sought a declaration that Sheens petition violated the trusts no contest petition. Evans has appealed a variety of rulings in the action, including the trial courts ultimate determination that the trust modification was valid and its confirmation of Sheen as trustee. During the course of the litigation, Sheens counsel was disqualified, and the attorneys appeal the disqualification order and the sanctions imposed against some of them. We dismiss the appeal in No. B196909; reverse one sanctions award in No. B202637; and otherwise affirm.
