Court Reviews a Whether a Will was the Product of Undue Influence

THOMAS L. GRIMES, ET AL. v. HELEN CORNELL (Tenn. Ct. App. May 24, 2011)



This appeal involves a will contest in which the trial court found that a will executed in 2005 was the product of undue influence and, as a consequence, admitted a will executed by the testator in 2004 to probate. The proponent of the 2005 Will appeals the finding of undue influence as well as the dismissal of her claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress and award of attorney's fees to Plaintiffs to be paid from the estate. We affirm the trial court in all respects.
