Stephen Colley, as of the Estate of Hazel Colley v. the Estate of Sara Dees and Franklin Leroy Stephens

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment entered after a jury rejected the challenge to Dees's 2012 will. It held that the evidence created factual disputes concerning testamentary capacity and undue influence, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in bifurcating the claims, excluding evidence, or managing the jury instructions. The court also declined relief on arguments that were inadequately briefed or unsupported by the record.
