C. DAVID ROUNER AND ALISHA HUDSON, Appellants, v. CARI RENEE WISE, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS CO-TRUSTEE OF THE K. R. CONKLIN LIVING TRUST, AND CARLI NICOLE CONKLIN, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS CO-TRUSTEE OF THE K. R. CONKLIN LIVING TRUST, Respondents., 446 S.W.3d 242

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-A finding in favor of the children in the stepchildren's action against the children, who were trustees of their father's trust, was proper because the language the 2002 Letter did not provide any clear and convincing basis, directly or by any fair inference, for concluding that the father understood and intended for that letter to serve as an amendment to the Trust; [2]-The trial court did not err in determining that all of the children's fees and expenses inured to the benefit of the Trust and should be payable from the Trust assets because the children's actions in defending the Trust not only benefited themselves as beneficiaries, but they also benefitted the interests of the remainder beneficiaries as well.
