Description
This is an appeal from a judgment entered in an interpleader action filed by Irondale Bank (Bank) to determine the rights of two claimants to funds held by Bank in four Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts. Respondent is the personal representative of the Estate of Leva Getty, and appellant is Tenna Bell Crocker, Getty's niece. The trial court held that because the joint tenancy in the CDs, which at one time existed between Getty and appellant, has been dissolved, respondent is the rightful owner of the CDs; we now affirm. We review the trial court's decision under the standards enunciated in Murphy v. Carron, 536 S.W.2d 30 (Mo. banc 1976). As such, we accept as true the trial court's findings of fact, and we credit the evidence in the record which otherwise supports the trial court's ruling. An affirmance is appropriate unless the ruling of the trial court is unsupported by substantial evidence, is clearly against the weight of the evidence, or erroneously applies or declares the law. Id. at 32.
