Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
In the Matter of the James A. Long Trust Dated December 13, 2007 as Amended. Sharon Long, Successor Trustee vs. Kevin Long, Et al.
The Appellants, beneficiaries of the James A. Long Trust, appealed from an amended judgment that terminated their beneficiary rights due to a violation of the trust's no-contest clause. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, finding that the Appellants' brief contained substantial and material deficiencies that prevented meaningful appellate review, specifically non-compliance with Rule 84.04 regarding the statement of facts, points relied on, and argument development.
