Court of Appeals of Indiana
In re the Supervised Estate of Gene D. Bricker, Deceased Ann Bricker v. The Estate of Gene D. Bricker and Dennis Bricker
23A-ES-3
Estate supervised. Affirms the Hancock Superior Court’s denial of Ann Bricker’s petition to have real estate and a farm account included in Gene Bricker’s estate. Finds there is some similarity between transfer-on-death transfers and a trust designed to defeat a surviving spouse’s share, but concludes the TOD transfers in this case cannot be included in Gene Bricker’s estate. Also finds TOD transfers cannot be found to be “testamentary in nature” for purposes of the state’s spousal inheritance statute.
