New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson emerged victorious in a battle between him and his one child over his competency to change estate plans for his business empire. Federal District Judge Kern Reese ruled in Mr. Benson’s favor after a week long trial finding no evidence present that Mr. Benson lacked capacity to transfer control of his pro sports teams and other business assets to his current wife. However, other cases involving Benson and his child continue, including one over control of a trust that controls the shares of the Saints and Pelicans.
