• W300705627 abstract "Writing in the October newsletter of the Legal Malpractice Committee, John Rea Jr. of the San Francisco office of Lewis, D'Amato, Brisbois & Bisgaard, points out a potentially troublesome decision: In a potentially troublesome decision for attorneys facing a malpractice suit, Lombardo v. Hysentruyt, 110 Cal.Rptr.2d 691 (Cal.App. 2001), the California Court of Appeal, First District, reversed and remanded a nonsuit in a legal malpractice case in which the trial had ruled that the attorney's malpractice had not caused non-speculative damage. In so doing, the court omitted to discuss or mention a line of California cases addressing the issue of speculative causation in legal malpractice actions. Paul Winters had established a trust, naming himself and his wife as co-trustees. In 1996, Winters was diagnosed with dementia, so his wife obtained a probate court order appointing Diane Mirviss as successor co-trustee and restricting her husband's powers. This order restricted Winters's ability to amend the trust and stated that Winters did not have the power to amend the trust without prior approval of the probate court. The experts for both sides in the ensuing malpractice suit seemingly were in agreement that this order was unique and astonishing. Winters' wife died in August 1997, and Winters hired attorney Kurt Huysentruyt to amend the trust to remove Mirviss. Winters signed the trust amendment on December 5, 1996, but died a few days later on December 14, before Huysentruyt filed the trust amendment with the probate court. A probate court fight Huysentruyt filed a petition for approval of the amendment one month following Winters's death, and Mirviss filed a petition to invalidate the trust amendment. The probate court denied the petition for approval and granted Mirviss's petition to invalidate, holding that Winters had signed the trust amendment without prior court approval, and hence it was void. The trust beneficiaries appealed from this decision, but settled while the appeal was pending. The trust beneficiaries also sued Huysentruyt for malpractice, claiming that his failure to effectuate the trust amendment before Winters died resulted in a reduced distribution of trust assets. Essentially, the beneficiaries alleged that Huysentruyt should have done everything differently-- that is, prepared the amendment sooner, petitioned immediately for court approval, and asked the court to shorten time to decide the petition for approval. However, at the outset of the legal malpractice trial, the trial ruled that the probate court had erred in ruling that the trust amendment was invalid because it was signed without prior court approval. The also ruled that the probate court should have held a hearing, whether before or after Winters's death, and regardless of whether Huysentruyt had handled matters differently. The trial court concluded that since a reasonable judge would have granted a hearing to explore the circumstances surrounding the trust amendment, it was inconsequential that the amendment was filed after Winters's death, and therefore there was no causal connection with the claimed damages. …" @default.
