8/6/2024
Representing the Plenary Guardian of the Estate (“GOE”) of a disabled real estate investor (“Ward”) whose trusts hold assets in excess of $25 million, Mitch Bryan and Spencer Griffin negotiated terms to settle litigation against the GOE and the successor trustee that included transferring the guardianship case to Florida. The transfer, which the court-appointed Guardian ad litem (“GAL”) had opposed for years, averts 1.7MM+ potential estate tax liability, halted the GAL’s and the Ward’s own attorney’s efforts to remove the successor trustee, and creates the safest personal care and medical environment for the Ward.
