Opinion
FYBEL, J.
We publish our opinion to confirm the principle announced in City of Downey v. Johnson (1968) 263 Cal.App.2d 775, 780 [69 Cal.Rptr. 830] that a conservator, executor, or personal representative of a decedent’s estate who is unlicensed to practice law cannot appear in propria persona on behalf of the estate in matters outside the probate proceedings. When such a nonlawyer brings a nonprobate action in propria persona on behalf of the estate, the proper appellate remedy is to reverse with directions for the trial court to strike the complaint.
