Lawyers from Greenberg Traurig secured a $150 million judgment in a Florida estate planning case that may significantly influence irrevocable trusts in the state. This ruling, upheld by Judge Kenneth Gillespie in Broward County Probate Court, marks a pivotal moment in a legal saga that has lasted over five years. The case is part of ongoing bankruptcy court proceedings, with implications for the validity of irrevocable trusts under Florida and Nevada law. Additionally, a lawyer previously barred from filing new petitions in the Southern District of New York bankruptcy court is attempting to overturn a related judgment, which included a $2,000 fine for allegedly abandoning bankruptcy cases. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida also has a new chief judge as of March 2025.
