Alaska Supreme Court

Mary Jaworski, Appellant v. Estates of Andrew G. Horwath, Marjorie Horwath, Michael J. Horwath, by Sue Streets…

May 25, 20122012 Alas. LEXIS 74

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Mary Jaworski's request for additional time to pursue claims that had been disallowed by the personal representative. It held that Jaworski waived the statute-of-limitations arguments by failing to present them to the superior court or in her opening appellate brief, while instead challenging the probate nonclaim notice. Justice Stowers, concurring in part and dissenting in part, would have reached the limitations issues and would have allowed the estate-mismanagement claim to proceed.
