In re Tr. of Burgauer

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court held that the effects test governs specific personal jurisdiction over a nonresident trustee when the trust-administration claims sound in intentional tort. Margaret failed to make a prima facie showing that Steven purposefully directed conduct toward Nevada or that her Nevada injuries were caused by contacts with Nevada, so the district court lacked personal jurisdiction over him. The court reversed and remanded the trust-distribution matter and granted a writ of prohibition concerning the contempt order.
