Description
In this action to recover the cost of maintaining a mental health patient, defendant First Interstate Bank of Denver (Bank), testamentry trustee, appeals the trial courts grant of summary judgment to the State of Colorado on behalf of the Colorado State Hospital (the hospital) and the denial of its own summary judgment motion. The motions were submitted on stipulated facts. The Bank argues the trial court erred: (1) by determining the hospital made a valid assessment of the costs pursuant to §§ 27-12-103 and 27-12-104, C.R.S. (1982 Repl. Vol. 11), (2) by disregarding the intent of the settlor and in construing the terms of the trust; and (3) by determining the testamentary trust was liable for the debt based on the settlors liability. We agree with the Banks first contention and, therefore, reverse.
