Question presented

Edward King as Co-Executor and Peter Allen Quint as Estate attorney have not filed one truthful document in the eleven years Jennings Estate Probate has been open. Edward King withheld lawfully ordered discovery on several occasions with the advice, counsel, and assistance of Peter Allen Quint. Is an attorney who intentionally with consideration and forethought withheld court ordered discovery entitled to extraordinary legal fees while planning and assisting in discovery abuse? Should the Jennings Estate pay the legal fees for the Executor who with reasoned forethought committed intentional discovery abuse? Is an attorney who asked Superior Court to discriminate against a disabled veteran entitled to $275 per hour for drafting and filing the request for discrimination? Should out of state assets be inventoried and appraised in California probate when the decedent is a California resident? Are expired Letters Testamentary expired?
