  • Jun 18, 2020, Summary Judgment Granted
    Cuyahoga County, Probate Court

    In a unique question of Ohio and Michigan law, we won summary judgment determining that a will executed, although never probated, in Michigan was not effective to transfer assets out of an Ohio Trust. As a result, our clients inherited a share of their father’s trust rather than it distributing solely to their step-brother.

  • Nov 19, 2019, Unanimous Jury Verdict
    Huron County, Probate Court

    A daughter of the decedent unduly influenced her mother to change her will to benefit only her. We filed a will contest on behalf of the other two daughters of the decedent. After a two day trial, we won a unanimous jury verdict setting aside the invalid will and ensuring that the decedent’s assets would transfer equally to her children, as she had truly intended.
