Segerstrom Daughter Can Inherit Trust

A probate judge has ruled that the stepdaughter of Orange County developer Henry T. Segerstrom may inherit a trust established by her late mother, but that she is not entitled to collect her mother’s artwork, antiques and furniture.

Mikette Von Issenberg, 53, the daughter of local arts patron Renee Mary Segerstrom, will receive the proceeds of three real estate properties.

Issenberg had battled Segerstrom for almost two years, saying that her stepfather was holding her inheritance hostage.

Segerstrom denied that claim, and said he was merely seeking a judge’s opinion on how to untangle the conflicting bequests of his late wife, who died in June 2000.
