In a dispute stemming from the death of a law firm partner in a plane crash, a state judge has found her boutique firm did not dissolve when she died, but a question remains whether her firm owes her estate any money.
Marya Lenn Yee was an equity partner at New York intellectual property boutique Donovan & Yee when she died from injuries she sustained in a California plane crash on Dec. 1, 2008. After her death, another firm lawyer, Andrea Calvaruso, was added to the partnership. The estate and the law firm dispute whether Calvaruso's new status allowed the firm to continue and whether the firm may still use Yee's name.
