Jeff Snider, as Administrator of the Estate of Thelma June Smith Snider v. Marquita S. Morgan, as of the Estate Of…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reviewed Jeff Snider’s appeal of a trial‑court dismissal of his complaint alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, money‑had‑and‑received, and declaratory relief related to a 1988 loan from his grandmother. The Court affirmed the dismissal of the money‑had‑and‑received claim and the unjust‑enrichment claim against Harold’s estate, but reversed the dismissal of the remaining claims and remanded for further proceedings. The decision hinged on the proper application of the 20‑year rule of repose and the relevant statutes of limitations.
