In re Mary Belsom Welsh Qualified Trust, 696 So. 2d 549 (La. 1997)
1997 La. LEXIS 1907; 1997 WL 340271
Calogero, Deny, Docket, Grant, Lemmon, Victory, Writ
In re Mary Belsom Welsh Qualified Trust
Opinion of the Court
JiPER CURIAM
Writ granted.
The judgments of the lower courts are vacated and set aside. The case is remanded to the district court for further proceedings. The presence of dissension between the trustee and beneficiaries, or mere animosity or hostility alone, without a showing of material impairment or interference with proper trust administration, does not rise to the level of “sufficient cause” that would prompt the trustee’s removal under La.R.S. 9:1789. Succession of Dunham, 408 So.2d 888, 900 (La. 1981); see also Albritton v. Albritton, 622 So.2d 709 (La.App. 1st Cir. 1993).
Knoll, J., not on panel. Rule IV, Part 2, § 3.
