Heading: remainder beneficiaries' filing after ruth's death

Text: Hansen died in October 1979. In May 2005, the trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., registered Hansen's trust with the county court, with notice to interested parties. On June 6, 2005, the remainder beneficiaries, Kaminski and Scholder, filed an action to declare rights with the county court, alleging that Mildred B. Bonacci had died on June 30, 1986, and that Ruth Elaine Mansfield (Ruth) had died on January 8, 2005. They alleged that on January 19, a person named Jane Falion had filed a claim with the trustee requesting payment for Ruth's medical expenses and that the trustee had denied the claim on March 10. The record does not reflect whether Falion is Ruth's personal representative. Two letters, one from Falion and another from the trustee, were attached as exhibits, along with invoices for Ruth's expenses. In the trustee's letter, a trust officer stated that the trustee did not believe it could make a distribution after Ruth's death and that it is our understanding that [Ruth's] Estate has sufficient assets to pay those expenses.
