1. WHAT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DETERMINE IF DECEDENT DID/DID
NOT HAVE CHILDREN?
REPONSE TO PROBATE NOTE #1:
I hired Lauren Grasso to do the research regarding blood relatives, she attempted to find
the blood relatives, but was unable to find any information regarding blood relatives of
the Decedent. She contacted San Joaquin Administrator’s Office who stated they were
willing to work with me. The San Joaquin Administrator’s Office (David Caldwell),
because the Decedent was a veteran, the County Administrator’s office received
information from the veteran’s office stating the only blood relatives they found were the
sister and brother (Linda Dierks and Don Dierks) The County Administrator’s office
actually contacted Linda Dierks and Don Dierks, who informed Mr. Caldwell that they
RESPONSES TO PROBATE CALENDAR NOTIES - 1had been estranged from their brother for many years. When the Veteran’s
Administration was contacted, they did not provide any references to any children of the
Decedent. (See attached email between Lauren Grasso and David Caldwell).
The Decedent never mentioned to me that he had children. And, I have known the
Decedent since 1990. When I met the Decedent, we were neighbors, he had no wife or
children that I was aware of, there was no one living in his home but the Decedent since I
met him in 1990.
2. PROVIDE CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT, AT THE TIME THE
TESTATOR SIGNED THE WILL, THE TESTATOR INTENDED THE WILL TO
CONSTITUTE THE TESTATOR’S WILL-FURTHER
CLARIFICATION/EXPLANATION NEEDED.
RESPONSE TO PROBATE NOTE #2: Although the Decedent was in the hospital at
the time he signed his will, he was competent and clearly aware that he was signing his
last will and testament. The Decedent signed a Power of Attorney (See attached signed
and notarized Power of Attorney) first which was notarized. There was another witness
besides me, a nurse, Anthony Peck, LVN, employee at the hospital who was in charge of
the floor where the Decedent was located. I also took a video of the signing of the will
and can provide that video to the court. The Decedent requested that I prepare these
documents as the hospital required someone with whom they could discuss his medical
condition. There was no one else the hospital was able to locate to discuss the
Decedent’s medical/health issues. 1 was not aware of Linda Dierks and Don Dierks at
that time, I did not learn about them until ] was trying to make funeral arrangements..
RESPONSES TO PROBATE CALENDAR NOTIES - 2When the Decedent went to hospital emergency in December 2021, the hospital called
me because Decedent told them to call me. Although the hospital was trying to locate
any family members of the Decedent, there was no one they could find, so they called me
as the Decedent had instructed them to do.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

On behalf of Anthony Budhai, please find the attached documents.
Thank you,

To: Lauren Grasso
The POA and POLST unfortunately do not give Anthony the authority to make final disposition
arrangements. Our Office may have to get involved as it doesn't appear that there are the correct
documents for MR Budhai to act. You mentioned that you were filling with the Court however
nothing is recorded at this time. You also said there is a Will naming Anthony Budhéi as the
Executor and Beneficiary of Jack Noah's Estate. It looks as if our office is going to need to get
involved. We are willing to work with Mr. Budhai but are going to need to see the Will to confirm his
position with the Estate.
Good news. | have heard back from the VA Eligibility and MR. Noah is eligible for placement at a
National Cemetery. He may have to be buried instead of cremated do to not having a blood relative
to sign or appropriate documents that give someone else the authority.
Please contact me to discuss or set up a time to meet.
From: Lauren Grasso Mon, Mar 7, 2022 at 9:27 AM
To: Caldwell, David [SO] Good morning Mr. Caldwell,
!am so pleased to hear that Mr. Noah is e Veteran and that he has blood relatives (brothers and sisters) that you were
able to locate. When you are able to locate their contact information, please forward it o me so we are able to adhere to
the Probate Court's Proof of Service of Hearing rules.
Please find, attached hereto, the Last Wilt and Testament of Jack A. Noah and the Durable Power of Attorney, as it
pertains to Mr. Jack A. Noah.
| look forward to hearing back from you.
Sincerely,

Thanks for the copy of the Will. It looks to be a valid Will. The Will does not give Mr. Dudhai
authorization to make final disposition. However, | have located 2 siblings. A brother and a sister.
They have been estranged from their brother for many years. | have talked to his sister Linda
Dierks and she is willing to help you with a signature. Her contact information is HM: 336-229-
5948 Cell: 336-227-1266 She lives in North Carolina. If you contact her and discuss what you
guys want to do | she can authorize it with the funeral home. Mr. Budhai can pay for the
disposition and should then reimburse himself from the estate once he has obtained Letters.
Since you now have a path forward our office will consider the case closed. | have attached his
eligibility for national cemetery for the funeral home.
Let me know if this doesn’t work out. We need to get him taken care of.iq

Good Morning Mrs. Canepa,
I received a message with Mr. Jack Noal's sister's information and have reached out to her. As we await her response, all
arrangements are pending as we will require, under California law, her signature on the cremation paperwork. The San
Joaquin County Public Administrator's office has been in contact with Mrs. Linda Noah and has also been on contact with
the Veterans Administration ta secure a niche for Mr. Noah. .As of this point we need Linda's signature on the paperwork
in order to proceed forward and will advise you and Mr. Budhai once all has been completed. No further action is required
at this time of Mr. Budhai. Thank you.
