Supreme Court of Missouri

State of Missouri ex rel. Board of Curators of the University of Missouri, Relator v. the Honorable Joseph L…

June 25, 2019576 S.W.3d 183

Summary

The Court made permanent a preliminary writ of mandamus and directed transfer of Hillsdale's declaratory action from St. Louis County to the probate division in Boone County. It held that the action concerns administration of a testamentary trust, so the specific trust-venue statute supersedes the general venue provisions invoked by Hillsdale. No separate opinions were issued.
