Litigation Victory

by Carol Warnick

The Holland & Hart Trust and Estate Litigation Group announces a big litigation victory.  After a three-day trial, ruling from the bench, the court upheld our trustee client’s interpretation of a trust in defeating a claim that there was a contract to make a trust.  In addition, we were able to enforce a no contest clause against the beneficiary bringing the claim and prevailed in enforcing a fee-shifting provision contained in the document.  Congratulations to our team of litigators and our Persuasion Strategies consultant who combined to bring home this victory!
