Carlson (Wolfe, Snowden, Hurd, Luers & Ahl, LLP) (for appellee Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Successor Trustee), and J.L. Spray (Mattson Ricketts Law Firm) (for appellees Robert Banner et al.)
Probate: Trust Proceeding
Proceedings Below: The court denied the trustee’s motion to modify the monthly payment to Shirley Gronin.
Issue: Appellant assigns that the county court erred in (1) concluding that modification of the trust to provide increased disbursements was not appropriate pursuant to § 30-3837(b) or (e) or under the doctrine of deviation, (2) concluding that Gronin’s current living circumstances were not unanticipated by the decedent, and (3) concluding that the purpose of the trust did not include providing a reasonable income to Gronin.
