Grate v. Grzetich

Plaintiff, Sue Grate, as the guardian of the estate of Catherine Grzetich, filed a claim against defendant Edward Grzetich alleging he breached his fiduciary duties while serving as trustee of a certain testamentary trust. A judgment was entered against Edward, finding he converted monies of the trust for personal use. The judgment also ordered half of Edward’s attorney fees to be paid from the trust. Plaintiff appeals, claiming it was error to order the trust to pay Edward’s attorney fees given the fact that he was found to have converted more than $30,000 of trust money for personal use.
