In Re: Estate Of Jack Williams, Deceased

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The issue in this case centers on whether Crandall Postell, a great-grandchild of the decedent, had the right to file a timely notice of appeal despite being represented by attorney Daniel Wilder throughout the probate court proceedings. The problem arises from the fact that Postell filed his notice of appeal pro se while still being represented by counsel. The Court of Appeals holds that Postell's pro se notice of appeal is a nullity and lacks jurisdiction to consider it, and therefore dismisses the appeal.
