In the fall of 1996, documents were filed with the Superior
Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles,

surviving spouse”. In connection with this action, an AGREEMENT
ABOUT DISTRIBUTION OF DECEDENT’S ESTATE was filed with the
Superior Court. The agreement was executed by each of decedent’s
five sons in August of 1996 and recited that the residuary
beneficiaries

WAN, also known as NORAH FUNG, as her 3/8ths share of
the Residue, all of Decedent’s right, title and
interest in the Real Property [defined as the Monte
Vista and Calle Victoria properties], and to allocate
