well we had a client come to us in a
00:07
situation where her father had clearly
00:10
wanted her to inherit his estate and
00:12
that had been the case for many years
00:14
and he had a trust that said she would
00:16
inherit his estate but in the 2 or 3
00:19
years before his death a caregiver of
00:21
his had started to influence him in a
00:24
way that we viewed as inappropriate and
00:26
she created a situation where she as his
00:29
paid caregiver was to receive all of the
00:31
assets of his trust and she obtained an
00:34
amendment to the trust that gave her
00:37
everything and gave some of it also to
00:39
her son so we filed what’s called a
00:41
trust contest we asserted to the court
00:44
that this trust was not actually what
00:46
the decedent wanted and that he did not
00:49
want to give everything to his caregiver
00:50
and that he’d been manipulated to do so
00:52
and we prepared that case for trial we
00:56
moved forward also with trying to
00:57
resolve it and ultimately the caregiver
00:59
gave up she transferred everything back
01:01
to our client and so our client the
01:04
daughter of the decedent received all of
01:06
the assets of his trust
