Faye's Story Redux

Back in March, I told the story of my old client Faye in three parts:  Part OnePart Two, and Part Three.

The critical moment in Faye's story was when at the eleventh hour on the eve of the bench trial on the issue of whether or not Faye's brothers would be heirs of their mother's intestate estate, Faye and the private investigator both located copies of the Final Judgment of Adoption.  When we disclosed to the brothers' attorney that we had located the document, the brothers dropped their claim.  So we never had to go to court and prove the fact of the brothers' adoption, which was essential to Faye's case.

My next post will go through how I had planned to get the key pieces of evidence admitted into evidence at the bench trial.
