California Court of Appeal
[CERTIFIED FOR PARTIAL PUBLICATION*]
1Opinion of the Court
Opinion
MOSK, J.
INTRODUCTION
In the published portion of this opinion, we affirm the judgment in favor of defendant and respondent Newman Family Trust 1 based on Code of Civil Procedure section 366.2’s (section 366.2) one-year period of limitations after death. We hold that the section 366.2 period of limitations is applicable to fraud claims based on statements of the decedent on behalf of a trust of which he was trustor and trustee, even though the action is against the successor trustee. In the unpublished portion of this opinion, we reverse the judgment in favor of the other defendants.
