Attachment 9
Points and Authorities
California Family Code section 2603(a) reads:
(a) "Community estate personal injury damages" as used in this
section means all money or other property received or to be
received by a person in satisfaction of a judgment for damages for
the person's personal injuries or pursuant to an agreement for the
settlement or compromise of a claim for the damages, if the cause
of action for the damages arose during the marriage but is not
separate property as described in Section 7 81, unless the money or
other property has been commingled with other assets of the
community estate.
As established by Family Code section 2603(a), the settlement proceeds at issue in this
matter are community property. Decedent died intestate. As such, the proceeds pass to the
surviving spouse. (Probate Code section 6401(a).)
Petitioner asks that the court order that the funds be distributed to fiobin Peterson, the
surviving spouse of Decedent.
