Estate of Luigi Bossio a/k/a Louis Bossio v. Bernard v. Bossio, etc.

WORKMAN, Justice: .

This is an appeal of the Circuit Court of Monongalia County’s orders, following a bench trial, finding that the parties are bound by the terms of a 1990 stock purchase agreement requiring petitioner Estate of Luigi Bossio to sell to Bossio Enterprises the corporate shares owned by Luigi Bossio at the time of his death in 2007. The circuit court found that respondent Bernard Bossio proved the existence and terms of a “missing” 1990 stock purchase agreement which purportedly required that Luigi Bossio’s shares be redeemed by the corporation rather than passing to his Estate.
