Supreme Court of New Hampshire

In re Robert T. Keeler Maintenance Fund for the Hanover Country Club at Dartmouth College

July 13, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the probate division’s denial of the Robert T. Keeler Foundation’s motion to intervene, holding that the foundation and the estate’s fiduciary lacked standing under the special‑interest doctrine. Accordingly, the court also affirmed Dartmouth College’s assented‑to application to modify the Keeler Fund under RSA 292‑B:6, III. The decision rests on a de novo review of the standing issue and declines to extend the Blasko test to this UPMIFA proceeding.
