Supreme Court of Alabama

Larry Franklin Butler v. Hayden Reid Butler

September 18, 20152015 Ala. LEXIS 111

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s declaration that Elizabeth S. Butler’s 2012 will was void, holding that the Butler Family Trust does not satisfy the statutory requirements of § 43‑8‑250 to create a contract preventing the testatrix from revoking her will, and therefore the will remains valid.
