INTRODUCTION

Roxana Kabiri Chamouille filed a probate petition when her sister, Mandana Kabiri Brown, died. The probate court appointed Chamouille special administrator of Mandana’s estate after Chamouille produced a holographic will she claimed was signed by Mandana. The holographic will gave most of Mandana’s assets to Chamouille, some assets to their (Mandana and Chamouille’s) parents, and almost nothing to Mandana’s husband, Kirk Brown (Brown). Brown filed two petitions to contest the will, alleging the holographic will was a forgery. The probate court dismissed each petition because Brown did not serve all interested parties.
