Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Wapello County, Myron L. Gookin, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Bower, C.J., and Greer and Badding, JJ. Opinion by Badding, J. (11 pages)
Michelle Alm and D’An Sasseen, beneficiaries of the Estate of Keith Sasseen, appeal the order overruling their objections to the inventory and final report of its executor, Barbara Sasseen. Relying upon a premarital agreement between Keith and Barbara, they contest Barbara’s claim of survivorship rights with regard to two joint bank accounts. OPINION HOLDS: Because Michelle and D’An failed to show substantial extrinsic evidence to rebut the presumption in favor of finding the accounts are held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship, we affirm.
