WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: The Estate of Tom W. Sawyer v. Timothy Sawyer, et al.
Case No.: 2018AP2455
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Gundrum, J.
Focus: Trusts & Estates – Land Contract
Timothy Sawyer, Laura Sawyer, Diane Wellnitz, and Elizabeth Nadow (“the Interested Parties”) appeal an order ruling that the Estate of Tom W. Sawyer reasonably forgave the remaining balance of a land contract between Beulah Beach, Inc., and his daughter, Kathleen Ferry and her husband James, and denying the Interested Parties’ demand that the Ferrys pay the Estate monies on the land contract and satisfy other alleged obligations. The appellants’ position would require undoing a stipulation the parties entered into and that the court signed. We decline to do so. We affirm.
