2 Rafael Ortiz (CONS/PE) Case No. 0341384

Atty Kruthers, Heather H (for Public Guardian/Conservator)

Status Hearing Re: Accounting

PUBLIC GUARDIAN was appointed

conservator of the person and estate on

2/14/1986.

The Public Guardian’s 12th Account for the

account period ending 6/30/2011 was

approved on 8/24/2011.

Minute Order dated 8/24/2011 set this status

hearing for the filing of the 13th account.

Status Report filed on 10/9/12 states it has

been the Court’s practice to set a status

hearing for a subsequent account

approximately 2 years from the date of the

hearing. There does not appear to be any

issues that came up with the 12th account

were the Court would request a one-year

follow-up. The Public Guardian usually

automatically calendars two years from the

end date of an account period to do the

next one. Therefore, the schedules and

supporting schedules for the 13th account

were not prepared.

Therefore, it is respectfully requested that the

Court set another status hearing for the 13th

account for one year for the state of this

status hearing, or if the court did intend for

the Public Guardian to file an annual

account, a 60 day continuance is requested

to prepare and file the account.

3 Lisa Susan Miller Special Needs Trust Case No. 0439065 Atty Matlak, Steven (for Ronald Miller – Brother – Trustee) Status Hearing Re: Filing of the First Account

Age: 47 RONALD MILLER was appointed

Successor Conservator of the Person on 4-

13-10 and Conservator of the estate on 3-

28-12.

On 8-22-12, a Special Needs Trust was

established to be funded with survivor

and death benefits from Lisa’s mother as

Case Number 12CEPR00861.

The Court set this status hearing for the

filing of the first account for the Special

Needs Trust.

NEEDS/PROBLEMS/COMMENTS:

Note: It appears this status hearing was

erroneously set in the court system under

the conservatorship case number

0439065 rather than the Special Needs

Trust case number 12CEPR00861.

However, the first account is due in the

Special Needs Trust 12CEPR00861.

1. Need first account or written status

report per local rules filed in SNT

12CEPR00861.

Note: Any further status hearings for

accounting will be set in the Special

Needs Trust Case No. 12CEPR00861.

5 Juana Alcorta (Estate) Case No. 10CEPR00975 Atty Kruthers, Heather (for Public Administrator) Status Hearing Re: Filing of the Accounting and Petition for Final Distribution

DOD:6-30-05 PATRICIO ALCORTA, son, was appointed Administrator with

Full IAEA without bond on 1-6-11. Letters issued on 1-6-11.

Final Inventory and Appraisal filed 7-26-11 reflects a total

estate value of $245,000.00 (residential real property only).

On 11-7-12, Attorney Gary L. Motsenbocker filed a motion

to be relieved as counsel due to communication issues. On

1-2-13, the Court granted the motion and set this status

hearing for the filing of the accounting and petition for final

distribution. A copy of the minute order was mailed to the

Administrator on 1-8-13.

Minute Order 2-1-13: Mr. Alcorta informs the Court that the

house has been paid and the taxes are being paid by his

sister. At the request of Mr. Alcorta, the Court removes him

as administrator and appoints the Public Administrator. Mr.

Alcorta provides contact information. Continued to

4/19/13 @ 9:00 a.m.

Status Report filed 4-16-13 states Mr. Alcorta informed Senior

Probate Assistant Susan Banuelos that he wants to buy the

house and would be trying to find funding. However, he

said he would never leave his mother’s house, and Ms.

Banuelos heard nothing further from him. He was served a

60 day notice to vacate the premises. It is the Public

Administrator’s intention to sell the real property and

distribute the proceeds. If Mr. Alcorta does not voluntarily

vacate the premises or come up with the funds necessary

to keep the home, it will be necessary to file an unlawful

detainer action. Therefore, Public Administrator is not in a

position to settle this estate and requests that further status

hearing not be set for at least six (6) months.

Status Report filed 9-30-13 states an unlawful detainer

action was filed 7-5-13 and heard 8-20-13. Trial was

continued to 10-22-13. Medi-Cal has reduced the claim to

$34,697.52. Family members have asked about paying off

the claim in order to keep the home. At this point, nothing

has been settled, and the Public Administrator requests at

least four months to allow time to resolve the UD action, sell

the property if necessary, and do the final account.

NEEDS/PROBLEMS/

COMMENTS:

Note: Pursuant to Minute

Order 2-1-13, Letters of

Administration were issued

to Public Administrator on 3-

1-13.

Note: Per Status Report filed

4-16-13, at least 6 months is

needed to close the estate.

See summary.

Note: There are four heirs

(Decedent’s four children):

First Additional Page 14, David Meisel (Estate) Case No. 11CEPR00167

Status Report Regarding Inventory and Appraisal and Final Distribution filed by the Public Administrator on

10/9/2013, continued:

The Court is respectfully referred to the declarations of Margaret Midkiff and Eugenia Meisel filed on 7/2/2012

and 8/15/2012 [please see below]; there are also comments regarding some of the assets on the Inventory and

Appraisal that was filed on 7/2/2012;

The Public Administrator was appointed presumably to close the estate; however, he is unsure of how to do so

given the accusations by each party;

The Decedent was 58 when he first married Eugenia, so an elder abuse claim does not seem applicable;

There is also no allegation that he was a dependent adult; however, Ms. Midkiff makes an argument that he

was suffering from Alzheimer’s by then;

The Decedent remarried Eugenia at age 66; throughout their years together, Ms. Midkiff alleges that Eugenia

was taking real and personal property; she says that Eugenia was even taking trust property that was never

meant to be touched;

The Public Administrator, and particularly his attorney, are reticent to continue asking the Court for instructions,

but there is not a clear answer regarding what he should do in this case;

The Decedent was not an elderly adult at the time he first married Eugenia; when she was given property, as

alleged by her, they were married;

Thus, the first reaction would be that there are little or no assets; however, the allegation of financial

abuse/misappropriation and of a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s may make this case unique;

The Public Administrator has no choice but to request guidance from the Court about the next steps to be

taken toward closing this estate;

It is unclear how long of a continuance will be necessary pending the direction of the Court.

Declaration filed by EUGENIA ORONA MEISEL, spouse, on 8/15/2012 states:

With respect to the Inventory and Appraisal No. 1, which she just received from Margaret Midkiff, her husband,

David Meisel, did not have any assets as listed;

David Meisel’s last Social Security payment, that was deposited directly into their joint account, was taken out

by Social Security;

As to items number 5 and 6 for the IRA Distributions and pensions and Annuities, it is unclear how these amounts

were determined by Margaret Midkiff; she cannot verify that these amounts are correct; as far as she knows,

there was no money for IRA or any pensions or annuities;

As far as the Montana property, she spoke with Mark Pyrex, who informed her that he handled the property

sale for her husband, and he will verify that she had nothing to do with the sale;

As to the Inventory and Appraisal Attachment No. 2, she does not know how the value was calculated; most of

these items were lost in the fire at their home, except for David’s hats, money clip, buckle, one watch, Marine

necklace and a Marine ring; new furniture was purchased with community funds after the fire.

Declaration filed by MARGARET A. MIDKIFF, daughter, on 7/2/2012 states:

On 1/29/2010, she asked Eugenia Orona if her dad had a will, and Eugenia told her “There is no will, there is

nothing.”

David Meisel worked for the IRS until 2/2008, when he got lost going to work; her dad was not officially

diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease until 5/15/2008; her dad was admitted the last month of his life into Kaiser

Permanente Hospital, and he died from Sepsis syndrome as a result of a urinary tract infection left untreated in

the hospital; Eugenia Orona said her dad dies from Alzheimer’s Disease; they found out the real cause of his

death after obtaining an official copy of the death certificate;

Dept. 303, 9:00 a.m. Friday, October 18, 2013

Second Additional Page 14, David Meisel (Estate) Case No. 11CEPR00167

Declaration filed by MARGARET A. MIDKIFF, daughter, on 7/2/2012, continued:

Eugenia Orona cancelled her dad’s medical insurance policy in 6/2008 because she said that they could not

afford the monthly insurance payment; at that time, her dad was receiving monthly social security benefits of

$1,858.00, her dad had two Smith & Barney accounts, a Money Market account of $48,890.13, and retirement

account of $42,703.78, in addition to her dad’s home that was free and clear with no monthly mortgage

payment;

Her dad had a safe deposit box that was emptied and closed by Eugenia Orona sometime before her dad’s

death, and she is the only one that knows what was in the safe deposit box in Sanger, CA;

Eugenia Orona has the mineral rights agreement from the on their family property in Montana that is in a Trust,

with a Trust bank account at Bank of America; this has been confirmed with her dad’s CPA, and on her dad’s

tax returns; there is not income every year because the income that is received on the mineral rights is based on

actual drilling that takes place that year, and is not a consistent amount every year;

David Meisel’s name was taken off of his home on 3/12/2008, and put into Eugenia Orona’s name and then

Eugenia Orona put the home in her son’s name, RICHARD ORONA, JR. on 9/3/2008;

David Meisel’s name was taken off his vehicle title in 6/2008 (vehicles he owned were 1997 Ford and 2007

GMC), and put into Eugenia Orona’s son’s name, RICHARD ORONA, JR.;

David Meisel married Eugenia Orona on 11/8/2006; David Meisel filed for divorce 7/2/2008 and then filed to

have the divorce dismissed on 9/16/2008;

She (Margaret Midkiff) arranged for a Marine Military Honor Detail for her dad’s burial with the Sanger Marine

Chapter; Eugenia Orona promised to send the flag he was buried with to me, but she never did;

After David Meisel’s death, Eugenia Orona stated on 7/28/2010, witness by Officer Reinhart at the Sanger Police

Department, stated that Eugenia had filed a lawsuit for wrongful death against Kaiser Permanente, after he

died; she asked Eugenia what happened, and Eugenia refused to explain to her;

David Meisel originally purchased his home in Sanger on 5/7/1999, then in 7/2002 his home completely burned

to the ground; he was able to rebuild his home through a payout from proceeds of the Allstate insurance policy

along with proceeds from PGE payout because the fire was caused by a wire that dropped on his roof and the

power to the wire could not be turned off for 1 ½ hours; David Meisel was a single man at that time;

Eugenia Orona put her father’s headstone on his grave 1 ½ years after his death, and would not allow any of his

children to purchase a headstone for his grave; finally, when she put a headstone on his grave, it is a little

marker that says “David Meisel, Marine Corps, 4/30/1940 to 2/21/2009, Eugenia Orona 7/20/1951 to …..”

Eugenia Orona didn’t include “Beloved Husband, Father & Grandfather, He will be missed;” nothing endearing

or acknowledging that he was more than a name, that he had 5 children who loved him and miss him so

much!
