AMANDA COOPER HEARN, AS TRUSTEE OF THE COOPER FAMILY TRUST v. SHARON THOMAS F/K/A SHARON W. COOPER AS TRUSTEE OF THE COOPER FAMILY TRUST

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jun 3, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: John S. Little, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellant, Sharon Waynetta Thomas.

Attorneys 2: Donald D. Glenn. Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellee, Amanda Lee Hearn.

Court Appealed: ARMSTRONG

In granting appellee’s motion to amend her petition over appellant’s objection, the trial court did not consider any of the factors relevant to a trial court’s determination of whether to grant a motion to amend. In the absence of any explanation in the trial court’s order concerning the basis for its decision, we are unable to conduct a meaningful review of whether the trial court erred in granting appellee’s motion to amend. Accordingly, we vacate the trial court’s order granting appellee leave to amend her petition and pretermit the remaining issues on appeal.
