Solveig Edna Hill, Petitioner v. Douglas Davis

Summary

The Court held that the three-month deadline for objecting to a personal representative's qualifications applies even when the objection asserts that the representative was never legally qualified to serve. An exception exists when fraud, misrepresentation, or misconduct concerning the qualifications was not apparent from the petition and was not discovered within the statutory period. Because the challenger knew the relevant facts and alleged no concealment or misconduct, the objection was barred, the decision below was approved, and the matter was remanded.
