Estate of Downs v. Bugg

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Eldon Bugg, is the defendant in the underlying discovery of assets claim brought by the Boone County Public Administrator, as conservator and guardian for a woman who had created a revocable living trust in her name. The woman and the appellant were co-trustees of the trust. The subject of the appeal is whether the probate court erred in granting summary judgment to the conservator on the basis that a $42,000 obligation, which was purportedly an asset in the trust, was improperly transferred into a trust in which the appellant is a co-trustee and beneficiary.

Affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
