Kent v. Celink
Bonnie Kent (Bonnie) sued several entities she believed helped facilitate her now-deceased husband’s decision to obtain a reverse mortgage on their residence in Yorba Linda (the Property) without her knowledge or consent. In 2012 James Kyle Kent Jr. (James), acting as the trustee of the James Kyle Kent, Jr., One Way Trust dated November 9, 2008 (One Way Trust), obtained a reverse mortgage loan and forged Bonnie’s name on several loan-related documents.Bonnie and James’s daughter, Teri Sue Kent Love (Love), filed the lawsuit in their individual capacities and as the One Way Trust’s successor co-trustees (hereafter, Bonnie and Love will be referred to jointly as the co-trustees unless the context requires otherwise). Jacob Kent, a minor and the sole beneficiary of the One Way Trust was later added to the lawsuit via his guardian ad litem James K. Kent III (collectively they will be referred to in the singular as Jacob).
