Clarence "Billy" Burkette's mother, Christine McCord Burkette Bonura, passed away on July 4, 2016. Following her death, counsel for the Revocable Trust of Christine McCord Burkette Bonura ("the Trust') filed a "Petition for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and Cancellation of Power of Attorney and Accounting from Discharged Agent."
The petition alleged that prior to her death, Christine McCord Burkette Bonura signed a power of attorney, giving her son, Mr. Burkette, power of attorney to handle her affairs. Subsequently, Mrs. Bonura learned that the majority of her funds were withdrawn from her bank accounts by Mr. Burkette and that he was selling her timber for undisclosed cash payments. Upon learning of these "wrongful actions," Mrs. Bonura contacted counsel "to take the necessary action to cancel the power of attorney." Counsel prepared the Christine McCord Burkette Revocable Living Trust, naming Mrs. Bonura's brother, Glen Farrar, as the trustee upon her death and her grandchildren as beneficiaries. Additionally, counsel prepared a power of attorney, revoking all prior powers of attorney except those related to health care, and giving Mr. Farrar power of attorney to handle Mrs. Bonura's affairs.
