Slosberg v. Giller
Georgia Supreme Court
876 S.E.2d 228 (2022)

- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
David Slosberg executed a trust for the benefit of his children. The trust contained an in terrorem clause. The clause stated that if any of David’s children challenged any provision of the trust, he or she would be disinherited. David died, and his son Robert Slosberg filed suit against Robert’s sisters Suzanne Giller and Lynne Amy Seidner (defendants). Robert claimed that Giller and Seidner unduly influenced David to draft and sign the trust. The jury found in Robert’s favor. The court of appeals reversed, finding that the in terrorem clause barred Robert’s claim. The Georgia Supreme Court granted certiorari.
