According to: SF Attorney Drexel A. Bradshaw Successfully Represents Gay Man Against Partner’s…, reuters.com, Nov. 29, 2007:

In a potentially landmark case,San Francisco Attorney Drexel A. Bradshaw has won a case on behalf of a Gay man whose rights to inherit under California’s Domestic Partner Law had been challenged by the family of his deceased domestic partner. The deceased man’s siblings had forced their brother to execute a new trust — cutting out his partner of 14 years — while the man was schizophrenic, on narcotics, and in the final stages of battling cancer. Bradshaw’s successful litigation charged that the family had attempted to unlawfully overturn the man’s will while he was in not in a mental state to do so.***
