Minnesota group opposed to abortion loses battle to collect $842K from man's estate

A leading group in Minnesota that opposes abortion has lost its battle in court for a donation of nearly $842,000 from the estate of a benefactor who bequeathed the money one day before he died.

John Charais of Forest Lake made a gift of almost $850,000 in February 2022 to Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) and its affiliated education fund, a gesture that emptied a family trust fund. The next day, Charais died by suicide at age 81.

His son, Nick Charais of Bemidji, stopped payment on the donation checks and said MCCL knew his father wasn't of sound mind when it accepted the money. The group sued the son last fall in Beltrami County District Court for the money.

Last week, Judge John Melbye sided with the son and dismissed MCCL's suit.
