Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Howard L. Upchurch and Stacy H. Farmer, Pikeville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Jill D. Henry and Estate of Timothy R. Curtis.

Attorneys 2: Radford H. Dimmick, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Judith Downing.

Judge(s): DAVIS

This appeal arises from a verified claim against an estate seeking the repayment of a purported loan made to the decedent by his mother. The decedent’s surviving girlfriend, as executrix of the estate, claimed the funds provided to the decedent by his mother were a gift as opposed to a loan. Following a bench trial, the trial court concluded that the funds were a loan and entered an order in favor of the mother. The estate timely appeals to this Court. Discerning no error, we affirm.
