California probate — minor child denied family allowance despite Estate of Jameson; looking for insight on whether ruling is legally supportable | Aug 22, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: California I’m involved in a contested probate matter involving a minor child of the decedent. I was appointed Guardian ad Litem for the minor. I am not an attorney, but the probate court allowed me to appear in pro per as GAL, file pleadings, and argue the minor’s family allowance request.

I expressly did not claim that there was a mathematical formula for arriving at $2,750. The estate administrator opposed the amount and argued, among other things, that the minor’s directly attributable expenses were less than her Social Security benefit. Their calculation assigned no meaningful amount to…
