The trust was empowered in 2009 to designate Bowlen's successor upon his death or incapacity.
Bowlen stepped down in 2013 because of Alzheimer's and he died last year a few weeks before of his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Bowlen's two eldest daughters from his first marriage — Beth Bowlen Wallace, 49, and Amie Klemmer, 51 — along with their uncle, Bill Bowlen, have contended in court documents that Pat Bowlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer's long before he signed his updated trust in 2009 and they want the trustees removed.
The trustees -- team president/CEO Joe Ellis, team counsel Rich Slivka and Denver attorney Mary Kelly -- and the lawyer who prepared Pat Bowlen's estate plan have said in response that Pat Bowlen knew what he was doing when he signed the documents in 2009.
