Alabama lawyer quit practice to care for parents; court voids her condo deed

 The Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed a lower court’s ruling that invalidated a property transfer from parents to their daughter, Holly Schumpert. Despite her dedication in caring for her ailing parents, the court determined the coastal condominium was part of a family trust, rendering the deed null. As a result, laws designed to protect elderly property owners allowed the reversal, leading to Holly having no claim to the estate. The Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed a lower court’s ruling that invalidated a property transfer from parents to their daughter, Holly Schumpert.
