Case Details
A Florida appellate court reversed a trial court's decision, ruling against a widow who held a life estate and attempted to sell property where the remainder interest was held in trust, citing an impermissible conflict of interest and lack of authority.
Additional Notes
The court ruled against her, holding that when she attempted to sell the property in fee simple, she overextended her authority. As the Court noted ‘[a]ll that she had was a life estate. No more. No less.’
