TREVANIA DUDLEY HENDERSON v. ROBERT DWAYNE JOHNSON ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 27, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Grayson Smith Cannon, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Robert Dwayne Johnson.

Attorneys 2: Taylor J. Askew & David J. Zeitlin, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Trevania Dudley Henderson.

Judge(s): USMAN

This appeal involves a property dispute between the decedent’s husband and the decedent’s only daughter, who is a child born of a prior marriage. The chancery court concluded that the husband had no interest in the property under the decedent’s will, as the property had instead passed directly to the daughter, not the decedent, under the terms of the grandmother’s will. Additionally, the chancery court concluded that any claim by the husband was also barred by an earlier settlement agreement reached by the parties. Under the terms of that settlement agreement, the chancery court also awarded attorney’s fees and costs to the daughter. The husband appeals. We affirm.
