Question presented

Whether a California probate court may invalidate a valid, lawfidly executed trust—based on the contested claims of disinherited parties with no standing under Article III—in proceedings marked by structural due process violations, where the resulting published appellate opinion now shapes California precedent and threatens national interests in judicial integrity, constitutional uniformity, and the preservation of generational wealth.
