P1507 REVIEW DENIED A trust beneficiary had standing to sue defendants who allegedly induced the trustee to sell trust property for less than its fair market value, to invest trust funds imprudently to defendants' benefit, and to give defendants trust assets to which they were not entitled; plaintiff in such a case is not required to allege a fiduciary relationship between defendants and the trust; the trustee is not a necessary party to the action; although the Superior Court has subject matter jurisdiction over such a suit, a decision about whether the case will be heard in the Probate Department should be based on local Superior Court rules.CitationEst of BOWLES v CAVALLI (Beneficiary's Standing) 169 CA4 684 [See: CCP 367, 430.10; ProbC 17200, 16403, 16420; LA County SuperCt Local Rules 73f; Charpentier v LA Rams 75 CA4 301, T/AT 11/99; Harnedy v Whitty 2003 110 CA4 1333, P/AT 9/03]
