Alaska Supreme Court

Gayle Bjorn-Roli, Per Erik Bjorn-Roli, Maiken Erickson, and Kjersti Walker, Appellants v. Patricia Mulligan, Appellee.

February 15, 2019436 P.3d 962

Summary

The court largely affirmed the superior court’s discretionary decisions concerning Patricia Mulligan’s roles as corporate officer, trustee, and co-trustee, as well as its rulings on prejudgment interest, liquidation costs, trustee compensation, attorney fees, and post-judgment trust reserves. It held that the superior court lacked sufficient findings to justify forgiving the Erickson Note and discounting the Barber Note, so it vacated that valuation ruling and remanded for further consideration. The court also held that an unpreserved request to remove Patricia from her fiduciary positions after the judgment did not establish plain error.
