Mayo Royal case rescheduled for January 23
By Jeff Bishop
The Newnan Times-Herald
Former Newnan certified public accountant Mayo Royal will face seven counts of theft by taking and one count of false swearing in a criminal case now slated for Jan. 23, 2012, at 9 a.m.
The case (2011-SU-R-578) was assigned to Coweta County Superior Court Judge William F. Lee on Monday.
Lee's 2009 judgment against Royal in a related civil case was partially upheld and partially overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court in 2010. Lee's decision involved the contested multi-million dollar Edgar Hollis estate, of which Royal served originally as the executor.
In January 2009, Fred Blackwell, the trustee of a testamentary trust that was listed as a beneficiary of the last will and testament of Coweta native Edgar Hollis, filed a civil action action in which he sought an accounting of the Hollis estate, the removal of Royal as executor, and damages resulting from Royal's purported breach of his fiduciary duty.
Following Royal's resignation in May 2009 from the post he had held since August 2006, the Probate Court of Coweta County appointed Robert Hancock as temporary administrator of the Hollis estate and, in December 2009, the trial court granted the estate's motion to intervene.
In July 2010, Judge Lee granted Blackwell's and Hancock's motions for summary judgment. In originally granting the motions in favor of Blackwell and Hancock, the Coweta County Superior Court found that Royal had breached repeatedly the fiduciary duty he owed the estate and that those breaches supported an award of damages to Blackwell and the Hollis Estate and a forfeiture of any compensation paid to Royal as executor.
