Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 29, 2019
Anthony Hoyt, Appellant, vs. David Robertson, et al., Respondents.
Anthony Hoyt appealed the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of David and Virginia Robertson regarding the validity of an amendment to the Debra R. Hoyt Trust. Husband sought to void the amendment, which removed him as a successor trustee and income beneficiary from the Trust, whose sole asset was Wife's inherited farmland. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding Husband had no ownership interest in the Farm, was not a co-settlor, and failed to raise genuine issues of material fact regarding Wife's capacity or undue influence.
