Attorneys 1: William F. Burns, Frank L. Watson, III, William E. Routt, John S. Golwen and A. Alex Agee, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellant, Buchanan Dobson Dunavant.

Attorneys 2: Jef Feibelman and L. Mathew Jehl, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellees, The Estate of William B. Dunavant, Jr., and The William B. Dunavant, Jr. Revocable Living Trust.

Judge(s): GOLDIN

At issue in this appeal is the petitioner’s attempt to recover for breach of contract of a marital dissolution agreement entered into between his parents prior to their divorce. Although the parents’ agreement had called for the petitioner’s father to create an irrevocable life insurance trust for the petitioner’s benefit, the trial court concluded that there was not an enforceable obligation regarding that subject matter and entered summary judgment. For the reasons stated herein, we affirm.
