2009AP2134 Conserve Community LLC, et al. v. Conserve School Trust, et al.

Civil Procedure
Conflict of laws; trusts

The Culver Educational Foundation appeals a summary judgment granted to the Conserve School Corporation and its primary funding source, the Conserve School Trust and its trustees (collectively, Conserve). The circuit court concluded a trust instrument unambiguously permits Conserve to transition from a four-year preparatory boarding school to a semester-away program without triggering an alternate distribution plan under which Culver would receive most of the trust assets. We agree with the circuit court, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
