Comments:
I am of the opinion that when one is removed as a trustee and the replacement trustee does precisely/exactly the same wrong-doing with no sactions applied there is something radically wrong.

Comments:
Judge Kelety is personable and approachable, but terribly, intellectually underqualified. She simply does not possess the intellect necessary to perform the job as an adjudicator. When frustrated, she displays her true colors of impatience and favortism. Another appointment to the bench based on sex, not merit. True to most San Diego Superior Court Judges, she possesses no humility or ability to admit fault.

Refused time after time to make any kind of a stand for us on our probate case. Our lawyer asked several times to have the person stealing my father in laws property thru a bugus trust add on Removed as trustee and from property Kelety would not rule. Kelety at one point insulted my wife in open court. Long story short: we won the trial in Judge Meyers court. Because of Keletys non action my father in laws house became a mecca for homeless and druggies. We now have the house back (everything he ever owned is gone). The house is a mess and she took alot of money. All could have been prevented if Judge Kelety would have taken allittle of her time to make a judgement on just one of the many petitions our incredible attorney filed.

She is the best judge we've had sitting in San Diego Probate Court for a long time. She always reads pleadings, and is fully aware of the arguments. She is fair and flexible, and a pleasure to appear before. She tries to fix problems.
