An unusual jury verdict in Hillsborough Circuit Court may set a precedent for undue influence cases challenging trusts. Adrian Thomas and Daniel McGowan won a jury verdict on behalf of their client Katherine Willis, claiming her father was incapacitated by Alzheimer's disease when he changed his will and accounts to make his girlfriend his sole beneficiary. This was one of the first times an undue influence case went to a jury trial rather than being decided by a probate judge. The jury agreed Willis was taken advantage of in his declining mental state. Experts say this verdict could influence how future undue influence claims are handled and give exploited seniors new legal options.
