Margie Wylie v. Estate of Derrell Cockrell, Timothy Cockrell, Miranda Cockrell, Janet Cockrell, Dakoda Zarlip, And…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the probate court's removal of Margie Wylie as personal representative for failure to account, commingling, and conversion of estate assets, while reversing the probate court's award of the guardian ad litem's fee and remanding for a hearing on that fee. The Court also clarified that the decedent’s financial rights in the LLC passed to the estate, not to the personal representative alone.
