Lakefront property dispute

Jeanne Green, who will turn 93 on Jan. 1, always said she wanted the 400 acres of lakefront, forested property on Lake Pend Oreille that her family homesteaded in 1902 to be conserved as-is and remain in the family. But now the $15 million family property is slated for development, and in a dispute between her children, the Idaho Supreme Court is mulling whether her oldest son exerted undue influence on her and her late husband, Ralph, to persuade them to cut four of their five children out of their wills and leave everything to the son who favored developing, rather than preserving, the property.
