Opinion
Case No. 97-2015
Opinion filed January 12, 1998.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Nassau County. Bill Parsons, Judge.
Michael S. Mullin of McCranie Mullin, Fernandina Beach; Thomas Paul Beyer, LaGrange, Illinois, for Appellants.
Sidney S. Simmons and Joelle Jackson Dillard of Allen, Brinton Simmons, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellee.
We affirm the order of the trial court determining that the court has jurisdiction over the trustees of the trusts, the situs of which is in Florida. We do so on the authority of Saffan v. Saffan, 588 So.2d 684 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991), Lampe v. Hoyne, 652 So.2d 424 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995), and Venetian Salami Co. v. Parthenais, 554 So.2d 499 (Fla. 1989). We hold that, not only is there jurisdiction because the trust situs is in Florida, but that the statutory requirements, as well as the constitutional minimum contacts requirement, have been satisfied in this case.
AFFIRMED.
