Chapter 23 - THE HOUSE CASE
Richard challenged the residence trust.
Months.
Depositions.
Bank records.
Title history.
The argument:
Mark fraudulently transferred property to avoid legitimate family debt.
Our response:
No debt existed.
The original $410,000 was a trust gift.
Richard knew it.
Trust transfer had independent estate-planning purposes.
Recorded properly.
No secret lien.
The judge did not decide based on Mark’s emotional letter.
Documents.
Dates.
Money.
The boring things save houses.
The court upheld the trust.
Richard appealed part.
Lost.
Not because I gave a dramatic speech.
May you like
I barely spoke.
The strongest witness was a fourteen-year-old bank record that did not care who cried at the funeral.
