In re The Matter of the Survivor’s Trust Under the Filer Living Trust Agreement
Matthew Veeder was appointed successor trustee of various trusts established by Sallie Filer and Don Filer to benefit the Filer’s children. Tod Filer, one of the Filers’ children, alleged Veeder breached various duties, and in response, Veeder filed a petition to find insufficient cause to remove him as successor trustee. The trial court summarily dismissed Veeder’s petition with prejudice. Veeder argues, among other things, that the trial court erred by finding there was cause to remove him and finding the exculpatory clause unenforceable. In Tod Filer’s cross-appeal, he argues the attorney fees awarded in his favor should be paid by Veeder in his individual capacity and not from the trust. COA# 884948. King County Superior Court# 24-4-04034-7 SEA.
Navneet Kaur v. Williams Portfolio 17, et ano.
Tenant Navneet Kaur appealed the trial court’s dismissal on summary judgment her claims of negligence, breach of contract, violation of Residential Landlord-Tenant Act, and nuisance. Kaur alleged that her health issues were a result of pathogen and mold exposure from the water leak inside her apartment unit. The trial court entered summary judgment because the respondents were not the apartment owners at the time of the water leak. On appeal, Kaur argues, among other things, the respondents had constructive knowledge of the conditions inside the unit, and the water leak was the proximate cause of her illness. COA #883925. King County Superior Court# 23-2-05659-1 SEA.
