In re Estate of Moncur
Annotate this CaseTwo beneficiaries of the Moncur Revocable Family Trust petitioned the trial court to remove the co-trustees of the Trust on the grounds that the co-trustees violated various fiduciary duties. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court did not err in finding (1) the co-trustees did not violate their fiduciary duties by using a surrogate bidder to purchase Trust property at a public auction without obtaining permission from the beneficiaries, and by holding the Trust real property auction after an auction to dispose of personal property held in the Trust; and (2) the remaining allegations that the co-trustees breached their fiduciary duties were without merit.
