The plaintiffs, Andrew Spylo, Annemarie Nittel, and Katherine Duncan, brought an action against the defendants, Gordon and Bonnie Spylo, regarding the estates of Mike and Mary Spylo.
Andrew alleged that he was the beneficiary of secret trusts established by his parents to shield assets from his creditors.
He and Annemarie also claimed that Gordon held their long-time residence in trust for them.
Katherine supported Andrew's claims and asserted her own continuing interest in several real estate parcels transferred to Gordon.
The court dismissed Andrew and Annemarie's claims, finding no credible evidence of secret trusts or a trust agreement for the residence.
Katherine's claims were partially successful, as Gordon conceded holding a one-half interest in specific properties in trust for her, and the court ordered an accounting and transfer of those interests.
