Mississippi Supreme Court

In Re Estate of Taylor

February 9, 1989539 So. 2d 1029

Summary

The court held that Perkins could not invoke the statutory exemption from a supersedeas bond because she was no longer administratrix of the estate. It further held that the bond amount had to be recalculated separately for the money judgment and the estate assets held under chancery-court control, with specified security for each. The court vacated its prior approval of the bond amount and remanded for reconsideration, continuing the temporary stay only if a sufficient new bond was timely approved.
