Text: Â¶68Â Â Â Â Â Â Â For these reasons, the judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed. 1 We granted certiorari to review the following issues: Â Whether the court of appeals erred in determining that third-party intended beneficiaries of a deceased testatorâs estate plan lack standing to pursue a claim for professional malpractice against the testatorâs estate planning attorneys based on either breach of contract or professional negligence. Whether the court of appeals erred in confusing petitionersâ claim for fraudulent concealment with the distinct tort of fraudulent misrepresentation in applying the heightened pleading requirements of C.R.C.P. 9(b) to petitionersâ concealment claim as if it were a claim for fraudulent misrepresentation. 2 Baker and Kunda have not renewed before us their arguments below regarding their negligent misrepresentation claims. Accordingly, we do not address those claims. These opinions are not final. They may be modified, changed or withdrawn in accordance with Rules 40 and 49 of the Colorado Appellate Rules. Changes to or modifications of these opinions resulting from any action taken by the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court are not incorporated here.
