An Indiana appeals court has rejected a lawsuit brought by two siblings against the estate planning lawyer of their father. The siblings alleged malpractice regarding a trust established in 2018, seeking a portion of the $3 million held within. However, the court ruled the claim was filed outside the permissible two-year statute of limitations, leading to its dismissal. This decision upholds a previous ruling that originally favored the attorney involved in establishing the trust. The court determined the siblings waited too long to contest the trust's terms and file their claim. As a result, their inheritance claim has been deemed invalid, and the existing trust distribution will stand. The case highlights the importance of adhering to filing deadlines in legal proceedings within Indiana.
