Estate of Bartsch
Objector Norman Bartsch Herterich appeals from the probate court’s ruling on a motion summary judgment in favor of respondent Arndt Peltner. The probate court granted summary judgment, holding that objector is not a pretermitted heir within the meaning of Probate Code[1] section 21622. That section permits a child to correct a mistaken or inadvertent omission from a testamentary instrument upon proof that the decedent was unaware of the child’s birth at the time of execution. The court further found decedent Hans Herbert Bartsch had intentionally disinherited objector, having included a valid disinheritance clause in the subject will. We affirm.
