Alaska Supreme Court

Richard K. Bluel v. Diane Nigg, as Trustee of the Newman Supplemental Need Trust

April 28, 2023528 P.3d 461

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court held that a non‑lawyer trustee of an express trust may not appear pro se on behalf of the trust; the trust must be represented by a licensed attorney. Accordingly, the Court dismissed the appeal for lack of prosecution because the Bluel Trust was not represented by counsel.
