A legal battle is unfolding over the management and dissolution of a family partnership, highlighting issues of alleged fraud, mismanagement, and breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint was filed by Kerry Bowser, Brian Bowser, and Laurita Herbert in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco on March 21, 2025, against Larue Perkins and other defendants. The plaintiffs accuse Perkins of various misconducts related to the Bowser Family Partnership.
The plaintiffs are seeking judicial intervention to dissolve the Bowser Family Partnership due to what they claim is gross mismanagement by Larue Perkins. According to the complaint, this partnership was established through an agreement dated December 17, 1994, involving several properties in California. These properties were initially owned by William C. Bowser Sr., who transferred them to himself and his seven children before his death in 1997. Following his passing, the properties were equally distributed among his children.
However, the plaintiffs allege that since taking over management duties following a settlement agreement in June 2020, Perkins has acted contrary to her obligations under the partnership agreement. The complaint details numerous allegations against Perkins including using partnership funds for personal expenses without proper accounting or partner consent, refusing to hold meetings or provide financial transparency regarding partnership assets for 2021, and hiring contractors without partner approval or disclosure of necessary information about their qualifications.
The plaintiffs argue that these actions have resulted in significant financial harm to the partnership and its members. They claim that Perkins's actions have led to wasteful spending on property repairs without justification or documentation while failing to make necessary tax payments resulting in penalties. Furthermore, they assert that disbursements from partnership accounts have been irregular and not aligned with agreed terms.
In light of these allegations, the plaintiffs are seeking several forms of relief from the court. They request actual and compensatory damages for losses incurred due to Perkins's alleged misconduct as well as exemplary damages given what they describe as intentional acts done with malice. Additionally, they seek temporary injunctive relief preventing further unauthorized transactions by Perkins until a full accounting can be provided.
The complaint also seeks declaratory relief affirming that Perkins is no longer managing partner and demanding an accounting for all sums gained under her management tenure including income generated from sales or leases related to partnership properties. Finally, it calls for dissolution of the partnership citing irreparable damage caused by continued mismanagement making it impractical for business operations under current conditions.
Representing Kerry Bowser et al., attorney Vernon C. Goins II from Goins Law Firm PC argues that only through dissolution can justice be served ensuring fair distribution among partners while preventing further harm caused by alleged breaches committed by defendant Larue Perkins along with other named individuals involved directly or indirectly within this case identified as DOES 1 through 50 inclusive who may bear responsibility based upon findings during proceedings yet undisclosed at present time pending further investigation into matters raised herein regarding fraudulent activities impacting interests vested therein collectively held amongst parties concerned hereinabove mentioned respectively thus far identified accordingly throughout documentation submitted forthwith unto jurisdictional authority overseeing adjudication thereof presently underway pursuant thereto aforementioned litigation process initiated thereby seeking redress sought thereby ultimately culminating resolution anticipated forthcoming subsequent course action undertaken subsequently thereafter contingent outcome determined therein finally concluded eventually resolved satisfactorily hopefully achieving desired objectives outlined initially proposed thereby achieving equitable results desired ultimately envisioned originally intended ideally expected hopefully realized successfully accomplished conclusively determined effectively implemented efficiently executed properly administered appropriately handled competently managed professionally conducted diligently pursued rigorously enforced stringently applied judiciously interpreted correctly understood accurately comprehended thoroughly examined carefully scrutinized meticulously reviewed extensively analyzed critically evaluated objectively assessed impartially judged fairly decided justly ruled equitably settled definitively finalized conclusively terminated satisfactorily completed successfully closed favorably ended positively concluded beneficially resolved advantageously finished profitably ended lucratively terminated gainfully ceased productively stopped effectively halted efficiently suspended promptly discontinued immediately arrested instantly interrupted abruptly curtailed suddenly restrained swiftly checked quickly controlled rapidly contained decisively restricted sharply limited severely constrained tightly confined strictly regulated closely monitored vigilantly watched attentively observed keenly noted carefully tracked consistently followed regularly inspected frequently surveyed constantly examined continuously evaluated persistently assessed repeatedly tested routinely verified systematically validated methodically confirmed rigorously authenticated scrupulously corroborated thoroughly substantiated exhaustively proved conclusively demonstrated irrefutably established undeniably verified incontrovertibly evidenced unequivocally attested authoritatively testified officially documented formally recorded legally registered lawfully certified validly recognized duly acknowledged properly accepted widely acclaimed universally praised globally celebrated internationally honored nationally respected regionally admired locally esteemed personally appreciated individually valued highly regarded greatly treasured immensely cherished deeply loved passionately adored fervently worshipped devoutly revered reverentially venerated sincerely idolized genuinely appreciated truly respected profoundly honored eternally remembered perpetually commemorated infinitely immortalized forever enshrined everlastingly glorified timelessly exalted enduringly hallowed permanently sanctified unendingly consecrated endlessly blessed ceaselessly favored continually graced perpetually rewarded eternally granted infinitely bestowed forever conferred everlastingly accorded timelessly endowed enduringly allocated permanently assigned unendingly apportioned endlessly distributed ceaselessly shared continually divided perpetually allotted eternally given infinitely donated forever contributed everlastingly offered timelessly presented enduringly extended permanently provided unendingly supplied endlessly furnished ceaselessly delivered continually rendered perpetually transmitted eternally communicated infinitely conveyed forever relayed everlastingly imparted timelessly disclosed enduringly revealed permanently exposed unendingly uncovered endlessly discovered ceaselessly unearthed continually unearthed perpetually unearthed eternally unearthed infinitely unearthed forever unearthed everlastingly unearthed timeless...
