Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 21, 2020
Charla Ann Broughton, et al., Appellants, vs. Estate of Anna Lois Tyner, et al., Respondents.
Charla Ann Broughton and others (Appellants) appealed the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Dennis Lynn Tyner and the Estate of Anna Lois Tyner (Respondents). Appellants had contested their mother's will, alleging Dennis exerted undue influence over the Testatrix. The appellate court reversed the summary judgment, finding that genuine issues of material fact existed regarding the undue influence claim, making summary judgment inappropriate. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
