Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the circuit court’s partial summary judgment that had favored the personal representatives, holding that the will did not expressly authorize the representatives to be paid without prior court approval, and it vacated the circuit court’s Rule 54(b) order because the court lacked jurisdiction after an appeal was filed. The case was remanded for further proceedings on the compensation issue.
