Scott v. McDonald

MILLER J.

Following a trial, the probate court approved, subject to a $93,036.75 surcharge, the first and final account and report of trustee (First Report), filed by Melodie Z. Scott (Trustee), trustee of The A'Yana McDonald Special Needs Trust (the trust). ( Prob. Code, §§ 1061 - 1064.)1 Trustee raises three issues on appeal. First, Trustee contends the probate court did not apply the correct legal standard. Second, Trustee asserts substantial evidence does not support the finding of breach. Third, Trustee contends the probate court erred by denying compensation for Trustee's services.
