20 Cal. Rptr.2d 481

Estate of OTTO HEINRICH LOUIS WERNICKE, Deceased. GERALD S. WITHERSPOON, as Special Administrator, etc., Petitioner and Respondent, v. CELESTE PACE WERNICKE et al., Objectors and Appellants.

Court of Appeals of California, First District, Division Three.

June 24, 1993.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

COUNSEL

Mathews & Evans, Eileen M. O'Hare and Charles T. Mathews for Objectors and Appellants.

Gerald S. Witherspoon for Petitioner and Respondent.

OPINION

WHITE, P.J.

This appeal turns on a single issue: Can one of several cotrustors unilaterally revoke a trust which is made presumptively revocable by statute as to the portion of the corpus he contributed? As we explain, current California law says "no." Because the trial court found to the contrary, we reverse the judgment.
