Perryman Law Firm

Trial Victory:

Following a Court Trial, Judge rendered a verdict awarding damages in favor of my client in her suit to recover damages resulting from a breach of contract to make a will or trust that should have left her two real properties in exchange for financial assistance in the form of monthly payments. My client made monthly payments, but her parents breached the agreement by selling the properties and refusing to pay the money back.

Legal Take Away:

Normally an estate plan is revocable by the grantors unless consideration is paid in exchange for future inheritance. If you agree to accept consideration such as financial assistance or care in return to make a will or trust leaving the property after you pass, then you must perform, and failing to do so will end up in the payment of damages.

The goal of an estate plan is to avoid the probate process or litigating ambiguities in court. The litigation costs will substantially decrease the value of your estate, thus reducing the amount to your beneficiaries.

"Two years ago my father passed away and my brother and I, along with my father's wife of 18 months, were assigned as trustees to administer my father's trust and wishes. After 7 months of following my father's wishes the wife decided to sue the Trust, my brother, and I to pay some debts she owed."
