JACKSON ⢠The Mississippi Court of Appeals on Tuesday reversed a chancery court ruling and sent a dispute between a manâs estate and a Marshall County bank over a $600,000 check to arbitration.
According to court documents, Bank of Holly Springs employee Crystal Morgan, 33, of Lamar filled out a $600,000 check from 98-year-old John Dabney Brown to herself on Aug. 12, 2018. Brown signed the check, and Morgan later deposited it in her personal bank account.
When Brown died months later, his estate sued both Morgan and her employer.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, Brown signed a series of checks payable to Morgan or members of her family. Those checks included one for $3,000 in July 2018. The others were for lesser amounts.
