Heading: Concealment of the stock transfer

Text: Christine also argues that equitable estoppel applies because Mike and Connie concealed the stock transfer that gave them ownership of the Totem Inn and the details of that transfer. The superior court held that Mike had no duty as personal representative of the estate to disclose the stock transfer. Even assuming that he did have such a duty, Christine should have known by 1995 that she had received an equal share of the probated estate and that the Totem Inn was not included in that estate. At that point Christine should have inquired about the legal basis for Mike and Connie's ownership of the Totem Inn. Christine did not exercise the due diligence required to maintain an equitable estoppel claim based on the alleged concealment of the stock transfer. [15]
