Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jun 14, 2022
ESTATE of BILLIE W. COLLINS, by and through its personal representative SHANNON COLLINS, Appellant vs. FRANCES L. COLLINS, Respondent
Shannon Collins, as personal representative of her father's estate, appealed the trial court's judgment finding that her father, Billie Collins, and his former wife, Frances Collins, had an implied partnership for a cattle farm. The Estate argued the trial court misapplied the law because there was no specific agreement to share profits and losses. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, concluding that the Estate's argument was improperly premised on factual inferences contrary to the judgment and failed to follow the required analytical framework for challenging factual findings on appeal.
