Weekley v. Wagner
Annotate this CaseThis was the fourth appeal in connection with the estate of Walter Brownlee, Sr. After Brownlee died and his will was probated, a dispute arose between Jeanie Weekley, Brownlee's longtime companion, and Brownlee's children regarding certain aspects of the will and the trust Brownlee had created. Weekley sued, and later, following Brownlee II, Weekley brought suit against Robert Wagner, Brownlee's personal representative, for breach of his fiduciary duties in administering the estate. The circuit court found that Wagner's failure to inspect, collect and manage certain construction equipment was breach of his fiduciary duty. On remand, the court awarded Weekley damages against Wagner for a total judgment amount of $139,834. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court's damages award was not clearly erroneous.
