Homer L. Watson, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Mary Fejeran v. the University of Alabama Health…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the summary judgment, holding that Homer L. Watson was discharged as personal representative of Mary Fejeran’s estate and therefore lacked capacity to bring a wrongful‑death action. The court also held that the probate court’s March 23, 2017 order attempting to clarify the March 24, 2014 final‑settlement order was void because it was issued beyond the 30‑day amendment period and exceeded the scope of Rule 60(a).
