PETERSBURG Two lawsuits have been filed in Grant Circuit Court surrounding the will of a woman who died in 2020.
One lawsuit, filed by Mark O Reilly, as executor of the estate of Sandra Arnold against the County Commission of Grant County, alleges that Arnold executed a will on Nov. 26, 2019, that appointed him as her executor. O Reilly alleges that she died on Aug. 22, 2020, and on Sept. 9, 2020, O Reilly presented her 2019 will and was appointed as executor.
O Reilly alleges that he then received a letter that said that while the county believed the will was valid, he couldn t act as executor of the estate until the party that submitted a prior will withdrew it from the county.
