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 an extension of time to commence proceedings on her disallowed claims against three estates. It held that Jaworski waived the statute-of-limitations issues by failing to argue them in the superior court or in her opening appellate brief, while instead challenging the probate nonclaim statute. Justice Stowers, concurring in part and dissenting in part, would have reached the limitations issues and remanded the estate-mismanagement claim for further proceedings.
