The Curators sought a writ of mandamus to compel the circuit court to transfer venue to Boone County, arguing that specific trust venue statutes applied. The Missouri Supreme Court made its preliminary writ of mandamus permanent, holding that the specific venue provisions for trust administration supersede general venue statutes, and directed the circuit court to transfer the case to Boone County.","primaryTopic":"trusts","topicSlugs":["trusts","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"transferred","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=141593","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-board-of-curators-of-the-university-of-missouri-relator-v-th-c97418","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":"estate-planning","label":"Estate Planning","href":"/practice-areas/estate-planning","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: trusts"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/estate-planning"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
