Fagan said the trust was created in Massachusetts as part of Redstone’s divorce and some of the entity’s documents are stored in his office in Norwood, about four miles from the courtroom in neighboring Canton. The majority of the mogul’s grandchildren live in or near Massachusetts, as does Shari Redstone, the lawyer for the ousted trustees said.
“This is a Massachusetts trust,” Fagan said. “If you send this case to California, it would be the wrong place.”
The case is Dauman v. Redstone, 16-E0020, Massachusetts Probate and Family Court, Norfolk County (Canton).
