Conservatorship of the Person and Estate of Martha A

August 22, 2025 Case No. G063437

Date Filed: August 22, 2025 Case Number: G063437 Court: California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division Three The Court holds that a trial court abuses its discretion when it permits and gives evidentiary weight to oral objections from a party who has failed to file the required written objections, even if the court later claims to have considered those statements. Accordingly, the appellate court reverses the order reducing attorney fees and remands for a new determination based solely on the written objections properly filed.
