Reversed Will Case Ties Salt Creek Estate Dispute
The Indiana Supreme Court reversed the Thinderlider will verdict involving the John Miller Hinderlider estate worth over 100000. Claude Miller Hinderlider of Woodstock Illinois contends he is the testator’s illegitimate son, while Catherine C. Hinderlicher and other heirs prevailed at trial. The ruling orders a new trial unless settled out of court. The original trial spanned over ten days with nearly one hundred witnesses and substantial costs. A detailed summary notes the court faulted jury instructions rather than the evidence and cites the potential for confusion from numerous instructions.
