Estate of Erica J. O'Donnell

Summary

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the probate court’s judgment, holding that the intestacy provisions of Title 18‑A, not Title 18‑C, govern Erica J. O'Donnell’s estate and that the trial court did not err by forgoing a new hearing because the appellant’s amended objection was insufficiently specific. The court also clarified that objections to a referee’s report must be specific and supported by legal argument to be preserved for appeal.
