Court Reviews a Case Involving the Failure by Decedent’s Husband to Return Property to the Estate

IN RE THE ESTATE OF SEPAL FLOGENE BOREN EMBERTON, DECEASED (Tenn. Ct. App. December 21, 2010)

This is an appeal from the probate court's award of $66,107.14 to Decedent's Estate for the value of property Decedent's husband did not return to the Estate following her death. The Administrators of the Estate appeal the court's failure to award the Estate the value of certain jewelry the husband allegedly converted. The husband appeals the court's valuation of the property he failed to return to the Estate. Because the evidence does not preponderate against the court's findings, we affirm.
