Barnes Law Firm, P.A., successful in its arguments to have TN children declared proper beneficiaries of the trust

In February of 2019, Barnes Law Firm, P.A., as counsel for the trustees, was successful in its arguments to have the children declared the proper beneficiaries of the trust based on the intent of the deceased.

Subsequently, an opposing party appealed the chancery court’s decision.  Not only was the chancery court’s decision unanimously affirmed, but Barnes Law Firm, P.A. was also successful on their cross-appeal challenging the payment of attorneys’ fees by the trust for the losing parties at the trail court level.
