Complete Victory in One-Day Probate Trial Regarding Distribution of LLC Interest.
In re: Estate of Robert Suttles
Client: Bruce Thames
Venue: Probate Court of Fayette County
State: Georgia
Trial Length: 1 Day
Practice Area(s):
Verdict/Award: Court Compelled Distribution of LLC Interest
WWHGD client Bruce Thames was a beneficiary under the will of Robert Suttles under which he was to receive Suttles' interest in certain substantial LLC's. The executor did not distribute the LLC interests for seven years and then contended that the will should be construed so that Thames would not be entitled to the LLC interests. After a bench trial, the Probate Court construed the will in our client's favor and ordered distribution of the LLC interests to him. Gary Toman was lead counsel for Mr. Thames.
