Hamilton v. Donahue
Hamilton v. Donahue
Opinion of the Court
Appellants, who are distributees of a terminated marital trust, challenge an order appointing a successor trustee to the trust. The trust provided for income to the settlor for life and termination of the trust upon the income beneficiary’s death. The income beneficiary is now deceased. A trustee is needed to wind up the trust because the previous trustees resigned.
As to appellants’ claim that the appointed trustee was biased, appellants have failed to supply us with a record of the hearing on this issue. Therefore, the trial court’s ruling is presumed to be correct. See Applegate v. Barnett Bank of Tallahassee, 377 So.2d 1150, 1152 (Fla. 1979).
Affirmed.
