COA outlines approach to awarding attorney fees in estate challenges

1

IL  for www.theindianalawyer.com

In a case in which the trial court awarded a woman and her children more than $170,000 in attorney fees even though two of the three claims raised were without just cause or good faith, the Indiana Court of Appeals specified the approach judges should follow when a party seeks attorney fees pursuant to I.C. 29-1-10-14.

Carol Pagano Foster and her children, Angela and Christopher, filed an action contesting the probate of the will of her father, Warren Stibbins. Stibbins had become frustrated with Foster’s inability to manager her finances, so he cut her out of his will and her deceased mother’s trust and instead purchased an annuity that would provide steady income for her. Although they lost the contest, the trial court granted the plaintiffs’ request for reimbursement of attorney fees under I.C. 29-1-10-14. The judge ruled the fraud action and incompetency claims were not brought in good faith, but the undue influence claim was brought with just cause. The judge held that the three claims were so interrelated that fees could not be divided.

The estate appealed the order it pay $171,360.64 in attorney fees to Foster’s attorneys in Scott Alan Stibbins, individually and as Personal Rep. of the Estate of Warren E. Stibbins, and Trustee of the Warren E. Stibbins Revocable Trust, et al. v. Carol (Stibbins) Pagano Foster, et al., 18A02-1410-PL-750.

The COA held that Foster and her children do not qualify as a “deivsee” under the statute because they were not beneficiaries to the two updates made to the will in 2005 and then 2008. The judges declined to extend the line of cases allowing someone who contests a previous will to be considered a devisee because in that case law, the parties challenging the will were devisees under the next will in line to be probated. In this case, Foster and her children were not devisees of the will being challenged or the next will in line. Opening the term devisee up as Foster suggests would create a slippery slope, allowing anyone once named in a will to be entitled to attorney fees if he or she challenged the will in place at the party’s death, Judge John Baker wrote.

“We acknowledge that the trial court was unable to separate the fees for the three claims, which is understandable given the process that was followed in this case. To avoid precisely this issue, we hold that a different process should be followed. First, the claimant seeking fees must prove that some or all of her claims were made in good faith and with just cause. The trial court must then make a preliminary determination as to which of the claims meet this standard. Then, the claimant is required to come forward with evidence showing the amount of attorney fees expended only for the claims that meet the statutory standard. In this way, the trial court and all parties can be assured that the claimant receives attorney fees only for those claims that were brought in good faith and with just cause, and the burden of proof remains on the claimant,” Baker wrote.

UE Earns First MVC Victory of the Season with 1-0 Road Win at Indiana State

0

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team (3-9-2, 1-2-1 Missouri Valley Conference) utilized a 66th minute goal from junior midfielder Colleen Dierkes to claim a 1-0 road win Indiana State (5-9, 0-3 MVC). The victory is the first MVC win of the season for the Purple Aces and their first road result of the year.

“I’m really proud of our team tonight,” said Colleen Dierkes. “We fought hard to pull out a victory.”

Despite a few opportunities, neither team was able to score in the opening half. UE’s senior goalkeeper Simone Busby made three first half saves for the Purple Aces. Evansville’s only shot on goal in the first half came from junior defender Emily Richardson in the 44th minute but her shot from the right wing was saved by Indiana State.

UE snapped the scoreless draw in the 65th minute. Off a corner kick from Richardson, the ball curved inside the 18 yard box where it was headed by sophomore defender Olivia Shafer and senior forward Kayla Smith. The airborne ball then found Dierkes along the far side post for the goal. It was her second goal of the season and gave UE a 1-0 advantage.

Down by a goal, Indiana State attempted three shots the rest of the way but were unable to place any on goal in the 1-0 Purple Aces win.

“Hard fought, needed victory tonight,” said Evansville head women’s soccer coach Krista McKendree. “The girls stepped up the intensity in the second half to match the physicality of the game and it paid off.”

The victory for UE snaps a five game winless stretch. This is also only the second win for the Purple Aces at Indiana State (2-1 win on Oct. 12, 2007). The goal by Dierkes was the third of her career. The assists from Shafer and Smith were both their first of the season. Busby ended the evening with four saves for her second shutout of the season and 23rd of her Purple Aces career.

The Aces continue their three game roadtrip at Cincinnati (Oct. 18) and at Illinois State (Oct. 25). UE returns home to host Missouri State on Oct. 29.

IS IT TRUE Mayor Lloyd Winnecke and his re-election challengers will meet in a televised debate Oct. 22 sponsored by multiple media organizations?  …its legend only two media representatives has contributed to Winnecke’s  re-election campaign?  …it looks like employees of the elite mainstream  media appointed to the televised debate have strong connections with Mayor Winnecke that could pose a conflict of interest question?   …we feel that not only people donating money to the Mayors re-election campaign but any individuals that directly worked with the Mayor for a long period of time while he was in broadcasting should recuse themselves from the debate?   …  Steve Schaefer, Mayor Winnecke’s Chief of Staff, said the Winnecke campaign was open to any media representative being a panelist?  …we accept Mr. Schaefer’s invitation?  …we find Mr. Schaefer’s invitation good news for the City County Observer because we like to recommend  Joe Wallace  to represent us in the upcoming TV debate as our media representative?  …we can dam well predict that Mr. Wallace would  ask pointed and in your face questions that shall rock all candidates participating in this debate?  … we expect people representing the elite main stream media in this debate will not?  …were not staying up waiting to receive a phone call inviting us to send a representative to  media elites “dog and pony” show because they considered us an insignificant fledgling blog?   …all we can day is who cares what they think?

IS IT TRUE we would still like to know why Russell Lloyd Jr thought it important to produce comprehensive annual financial reports (CAFR) and publish them when he was Mayor of Evansville (2000-2004), but has not thought it important for the city in his time as City Controller from 2012 to the present?   …we think an explanation is in order from City Controller Russ Lloyd  Jr concerning this issue?

IS IT TRUE we want to commend the Editorial staff at the Evansville Courier and Press for finally speaking out  on  the status of EVSC and the Local Teamsters 215 Union contract negotiations?  …for over 6 months we have been encouraging the appointed EVSC Superintendent of Schools and our elected School Board members to set down with the Teamsters to discuss in earnest the employee contract issues between them?  ..the Courier and Press Editorial is spot on when that said that the School Board should hold an open vote to either vote this employment contract up or down, not in executive /private discussion?  …we think it a sad commentary that 6 of 7 elected School Board members deferred all questions about this issue to be addressed by Board President  Mike Duckworth is not only unacceptable but laughable?  …we won’t be able to sleep until Monday waiting to hear what the ‘KING OF LOCAL POLITICAL PATRONAGE”  Mike Duckworth has to tell about the status of the contract negotiations between EVSC and the local Teamsters 215?

IS IT TRUE we have 20 days till the election?  …the City has finally fixed the road in front of Tropicana?  …we wish  that  the  City of Evansville  has an  election every year because it really would get some stuff done in this city?

IS IT TRUE that our current “Readers Poll” ask; Do think Council should give city employees a 1% rise that would increase the 2016 City Budget by $600,000?
