Chaudhary v. Bartnof
Plaintiff Aman Chaudhary filed a malpractice action alleging that Howard Bartnof negligently advised his father to transfer three properties from a family trust into a nonexistent sub-trust, thereby subjecting them to intestate succession. After Aman’s father died, his second wife filed a probate petition asserting a community property interest in the three properties. Aman, the sole beneficiary of the trust, settled the probate petition and pursued this action.
Bartnof filed a successful motion for summary judgment alleging that he owed no duty of care to Aman. The trial court granted the motion. We reverse.
