Estate of Sheen
Dolores Q. Sheen (Dolores), and her children Erin Blunt and Carla Angelino, appeal from a judgment after court trial, which set aside real property deeds, ordered real and personal property restored to the Living Trust of Quinlock K. Sheen (trust), and awarded $100,000 damages to petitioners Charles Sheen, Derek Hersha, and Deryl Gaylord, three grandchildren of Quinlock Sheen (Quinlock).[1] The judgment was grounded in a determination that Dolores had obtained the property in question by undue influence upon Quinlock, her 93-year-old mother. Appellants contend that petitioners lacked standing to sue, that the petition was barred by limitations, and that the judgment is not supported by substantial evidence of undue influence. Petitioners cross-appeal from the courts declination to award a statutory penalty. Court conclude that only petitioners appeal has merit, and Court affirm the judgment except with respect to penalty damages.
