John D. Glass v. Suntrust Bank, et al.

Plaintiff beneficiary filed an action challenging the reasonableness of an executor’s fee taken by SunTrust as Executor. The probate court upheld the executor’s fee, and Plaintiff then filed an action against SunTrust Bank and SunTrust as Trustee.

We reverse the grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants and we remand for further proceedings
