Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Monona County, Jeffrey A. Neary, Judge. AFFIRMED. Heard by Ahlers, P.J., Badding, J., and Carr, S.J. Opinion by Ahlers, P.J. (8 pages)
A beneficiary of a will appeals a ruling denying a request to remove the executor and find a no-contest clause contained in the will triggered by the executor’s submission of a later will that was ultimately found to be invalid. OPINION HOLDS: The executor’s submission of the later will did not amount to a challenge of the will and did not trigger the no-contest clause. The beneficiary did not establish grounds to remove the executor.
