Thread: Broncos ownership dispute resumes after Pat Bowlen’s eldest daughters file petition to invalidate trust

A new chapter to the Broncos’ ownership dispute developed Friday in Arapahoe County Court.

Amie Klemmer and Beth Bowlen Wallace, Pat Bowlen’s two eldest daughters, filed a petition seeking to invalidate the 2009 Patrick D. Bowlen Trust on the grounds their father did not have the capacity to sign his estate-planning documents.

“There is substantial and overwhelming evidence that Mr. Bowlen lacked the required capacity in 2009,” said Giovanni Ruscitti, co-counsel for Klemmer and Wallace, in a statement. “As a result, Ms. Klemmer and Ms. Wallace have filed a petition asking the court to decide that issue, the related issue of whether the 2009 trust, which is the document under which the trustees have derived their power and authority, is valid and whether Mr. Bowlen was subjected to undue influence.”

give up, beth. . .

At this point, I hope she never has any ownership or control.

I haven't been following too closely. Anybody got cliffs on the story?

Yeah, rich girl cries foul because she's not getting something she wants at the expense of her father's memory and disgracing herself in the progress

Basically says her dad was lacking faculties in 2009 and the trust was a fraud

I think it's in his declaration that anyine challenging will be disinherited and out

Pathetic.

From the article:

Orlando and Sandy were talking about this earlier this morning. Orlando was drafted by the Broncos in 2011, and he said that it was Mr. B who approached him early on as he knew Orlando was from Canada, and they had a great discussion.

I would believe many other players, coaches, employees, etc, also could testify in regards to the times they interacted with Mr. B, before and after 2009. Also, was Mr. B still interfacing with the NFL on different committees at that time? If so, NFL people could also testify if it gets to that point.

At this rate, and if they succeed, they might very well create a situation where the Broncos are sold.

When my father was dying he cashed out a life insurance policy for pennies on the dollar. The check was never cashed. I brought the check to Met Life, explained my father did not have the mental capacity to make the decision to cash out and asked for the full amount of the policy.

They agreed without any battles.

If im the judge i would force Beth and company to actually provide medical documents showing that Pat was not of right mind when he signed the documents. Otherwise i would be throwing that shit out in a heartbeat.

Why is your organization always in controversy, scandal and turmoil?

Unlike mine.

IMO theyre going to lose most of these battles

Judges do not want final wishes overturned in general.

I hope they are disinherited and barred from Bowlens estate. They come across as greedy ****ers.

I'm quite sure that Pat Bowlen's attorneys already covered this base in 2009. I doubt that there is any legitimate question that he had appropriate capacity at the time.

But it will take a long drawn-out process to fight it out in court.

Or. . ..they can give a small percentage of ownership to these two to settle it and get on with their lives.

I'm guessing the latter is what this is all about.

My understanding is they are already in line to be minority owners, so I don't think it's about that.

This appears to be purely about greed and ego.
