Estate of Thompson v. Hicks

LISA WHITE HARDWICK, Judge.

Gary White appeals from a judgment in a discovery of assets action concerning his mother’s estate. He contends the trial court erred in determining that his mother made a valid inter vivos gift of $84,111.47 to her second cousin, James Hicks, one month prior to her death. Appellant argues the judgment is unsupported by substantial evidence, is against the weight of the evidence, and erroneously applied the law in that there was no clear and convincing evidence of his mother’s donative intent. We affirm.
