Texas court scraps $796,906 award in grandmother’s diamond and cash dispute

A Texas grandmother’s safe-deposit box became the centre of a family dispute after her death in 2019. Her grandson reported finding $16,000, while another family member claimed it contained $400,000, an eight-carat diamond ring and gold coins. The grandmother’s niece later won nearly $797,000 in damages, but an appeals court overturned the award on Tuesday, citing her failure to follow the required legal process.
