Court of Chancery of Delaware

In a dispute involving a revocable trust used for a minor's education, summary judgment is granted to a settlor where the minor and his mother presented no evidence to support their claims under any of the relevant standards of proof, and the evidence supported a finding that the settlor decided to pay for the minor's education out of gratitude for his father's faithful service, that she enacted a revocable trust to accomplish that goal, that she always intended to maintain control over the corpus of the trust while alive, and that she later decided to change her mind and withdrew her support of the minor.
