Edward Jones Trust Company, as personal representative of the Estate of Charles S. Woods, Jr. v. Kathy Marie Woods

Syllabus

A widow received pension benefits that were payable only to her as a surviving spouse. A trust company representing the decedent's estate filed suit against the widow arguing that she breached the antenuptial agreement between her and the decedent that required her to disclaim any right she had in the decedent's separate property. The trial court granted summary judgment to the widow after concluding that the antenuptial agreement contained an exception that allowed the widow to retain pension benefits that were payable only to her as surviving spouse. The trust company appealed. Because the antenuptial agreement is ambiguous, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
