Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Hancock County, Colleen D. Weiland, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Vaitheswaran, P.J., Tabor, J., and Vogel, S.J. Opinion by Tabor, J. (9 pages)
William Arnold sued members of his family for tortious interference and undue influence resulting in him not receiving a bequest of the family farmland from his aunt and uncle. The district court granted the defendants summary judgment. William appeals. OPINION HOLDS: Because the evidence William brings is no more than speculative about the influence the defendants may have had on the deceased, the grant of summary judgment was proper, and we affirm.
