The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the circuit court dismissing Appellants' creditor claim against the estate of John Calvin, holding that the circuit court properly dismissed the creditor claim.
Calvin was the lifetime beneficiary of the Ben W. Calvin Trust, and Appellants - Calvin's children - were the remainder beneficiaries. After Calvin died, Appellants brought a creditor claim against his estate, alleging that Calvin had received disbursements of principal from the Trust in violation of the terms of the Trust. The circuit court dismissed the creditor claim, concluding that the Trust disbursements to Calvin were proper under the terms of the Trust. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellants failed to show that they had standing to assert a claim against the Estate.
