Supreme Court of Florida

In Re Estate of Carpenter

June 9, 1971253 So. 2d 697

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court held that there was sufficient evidence to raise a presumption of undue influence, that the presumption only shifts the burden of production to the proponent, that the proponent satisfied that burden, and that the trial judge must still consider the remaining evidence on undue influence; it affirmed the appellate court in part, reversed its finding that evidence was insufficient, and remanded for further proceedings.
