Ind. Decisions - "Judge removes Bren Simon as trustee over late husband's estate"
Cory Schouten is reporting in the IBJ in a long story that begins:
A Hamilton County judge has ordered Bren Simon removed as personal representative and interim trustee over her late husband's estate, replacing her with a retired justice of the Indiana Supreme Court.The ruling by Superior Court Judge William J. Hughes represents a turning point in an ugly family squabble over Melvin Simon's more than $2 billion fortune. It's a big victory for Deborah Simon, one of Melvin's children from a previous marriage, who had argued Bren is unfit to serve as trustee.
"The record herein is replete with examples of conduct by Bren Simon justifying her removal in both capacities," Hughes wrote in the order entered Dec. 15. * * *
Hughes appointed former Indiana Supreme Court Justice Theodore R. Boehm, who retired earlier this year, to replace Bren as both trustee and Melvin's personal representative.
