Beckerle, as Trustee of the Delora A. Beckerle Living Trust, appealed a judgment in favor of Whitmoor Realty, LLC, for breach of a promissory note. The Trust had executed a note which was later assigned to Whitmoor, and after foreclosure, a balance remained. Beckerle argued the claim was time-barred by a statute governing creditor claims against a settlor, and challenged evidentiary rulings. The Eastern District affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the statute applied only to creditors of a settlor, not the trust itself, and that the evidentiary rulings were within the trial court's discretion.","primaryTopic":"trusts","topicSlugs":["trusts","contracts","evidence","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=144793","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/whitmoor-realty-llc-respondent-v-kevin-j-beckerle-as-trustee-of-the-delor-106011","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"estate-planning","label":"Estate Planning","href":"/practice-areas/estate-planning","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: trusts","text: trustee"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/estate-planning"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
