Supreme Court of Alabama
Fred W. Suggs, Jr., as Personal Representative of the Estate of Frances W. Gray v. Elizabeth R. Gray, as Personal…
May 4, 2018265 So. 3d 226
Summary
The court held that Suggs's Rule 60(b)(4) motion was timely because it challenged the validity of final judgments and a motion to vacate a void judgment is not subject to a reasonable-time limitation. The circuit court had subject-matter jurisdiction to determine the distribution of sale proceeds held in the law firm's trust account, but it lacked jurisdiction over assets within the pending probate administrations, including the certificates of deposit and diamond necklace. The court therefore affirmed in part and vacated in part.
