Araguel v. Bryan
Florida District Court of Appeal
343 So. 3d 1236 (2022)
- Written by Tammy Boggs, JD
Facts
Jane Araguel died with a will. Jerry Sanders was nominated as the personal representative in Jane’s will. Jane’s son Patrick Araguel (plaintiff) petitioned for administration of the will and requested the appointment of Sanders. It was uncontested that Sanders was qualified to serve as a personal representative under Florida Statutes § 733.301(1)(a). Sanders was a Florida resident, was of age, was mentally and physically capable, and had never been convicted of a felony. One of Jane’s other sons (defendant) objected to the appointment of Sanders. The trial court held a hearing and denied the appointment of Sanders based on facts suggesting that Sanders could be biased. Patrick appealed.
