CONSERVATORSHIP OF DANIEL MOSIER
Case Number: 23PC-0032093
This matter is on calendar for hearing on a Motion to Require Public Guardian to Apply for
Appointment of Conservator. The matter has been properly noticed. The Public Guardian opposes the
request. The Court can issue an order requiring the Public Guardian to seek appointment if a
conservatorship “appears to be in the best interest of the person.” Probate Code Section 2920(b). The
Court “shall not” make this order unless there is a determination by the Court that the “appointment is
necessary.” Id. The Court has received conflicting information in these proceedings as to whether Mr.
Mosier requires a Conservator. An appearance is necessary on today’s calendar to discuss the
motion and whether an appointment is necessary.

Guardianship of Reed, et al.

GUARDIANSHIP OF BELLA & PRESAYA REED
Case Number: 24PG-0032322
Disclosure Re: guardianship cases involving Shasta County Health and Human Services
Agency-Judge Wood discloses that her step-daughter, Erinn Watts, is the Administrative Branch
Director of the Health and Human Services Agency. In that position, Judge Wood’s step-daughter
does not have any involvement in the investigation, management, prosecution or defense of
guardianship cases. However, the Court makes this disclosure of an employment relationship
between an investigating agency and the Court’s first degree relative as required by California
Code of Judicial Ethics.
This matter is on calendar for further proceedings on a Petition for Appointment of Guardian of
the Person of minors, Presaya and Bela Reed. The Petition was filed by the non-relatives, Carey
and Cheryl Porter. Letters of Temporary Guardianship issued on June 10, 2024. The Temporary
Guardianship’s powers are set to expire today unless further extended.
The Court previously dispensed with notice to the deceased father, deceased paternal grandparents
and deceased maternal grandfather. The Court previously found that Samantha McClure, Randall
McClure and the Christy Slavish Special Needs Trust had been served. The maternal grandmother
and minors have been timely served. The mother has been personally served. The matter has been
properly noticed. No objections have been raised. The paperwork appears to be in order. The Court
will inquire whether the child is or may be an Indian child. If Petitioner has reason to know that
the child is an Indian child, they must make further inquiry to learn about the child’s Indian
heritage.
The Court has reviewed and considered the Children’s Services report, filed June 4, 2024 and
agrees with the recommendation to grant the Petition. The Court FINDS it would be detrimental
for the child to be with either parent or any parent objecting to the guardianship, the guardianship
is in the child’s best interest, and the guardianship is necessary and convenient. The proposed
guardian is suitable.
The Court GRANTS the Petition. Visitation shall be at the Guardian’s discretion. A proposed
Order Appointing Guardian has been lodged and will be executed by the Court. Annual Review
is set for Monday, July 28, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42. No appearance is necessary
on today’s calendar.
This matter is also on calendar for further proceedings on a Petition for Appointment of Guardian
of the Estate of minors, Bella and Presaya Reed. The Petition was filed by the minors’ cousin and
her husband Samantha and Randall McClure. The Petition and supporting documentation provide
contradictory information. The Consent appears to show that both Samantha and Randall seek
appointment. A Confidential Guardianship Screening form has been filed on behalf of Samantha
only as it relates to the Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Estate. Item 3 of the Child
Information Attachments indicates that both are seeking appointment; however, Item 1 of the
Petition only identifies Samantha. Based on the foregoing, the Court cannot determine whether
Petitioners are seeking appointment of both Samantah and Randall McClure or Samantha only.
Petitioners will need to clarify their position with the Court. If both are seeking appointment,
Randall McClure has completed a Confidential Guardianship Screening Form in association with
the prior Petition for Appointment of Guardianship of the Person that the Court will accept. The
above defects were previously raised by the Court on June 17, 2024, but nothing has been filed to
correct the defects.
The Court previously dispensed with notice to the deceased father, deceased paternal grandparents
and deceased maternal grandfather. The Court previously found timely notice on all the required
individuals and that the matter had been properly noticed. The Court will inquire whether the child
is or may be an Indian child. If Petitioner has reason to know that the child is an Indian child, they
must make further inquiry to learn about the child’s Indian heritage. The Court Investigator’s
Report filed on July 3, 2024 recommends the Court deny the Petition for Appointment of
Guardians of the Estate. The report provides that there is currently no need for a Guardianship of
the Estate. However, the Investigator’s Report, as well as the Petition, fail to address the settlement
of the minors’ claims related to the Camp Fire that counsel has previously indicated were in a
blocked account. No information has been provided as to the guardian ad litem appointed as to
the settlement, the amount of the settlement funds placed into a blocked account and the institution
which currently holds those funds. Further, no information has been provided as to what if any
assets and/or social security benefits will be available to the minors from their father’s estate. An
appearance is necessary on today’s calendar to discuss the Petition for Appointment of
Guardian of the Estate and the Court Investigator’s Report.
