Mississippi Supreme Court

In Re the Estate of Herbert Bernard Ivison, Jr.: Malouf & Malouf, Pllc v. the Estate of Herbert Bernard Ivison, Jr…

September 18, 2025

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Malouf & Malouf's motion seeking compound interest on its previously probated claim. It held that the later claim materially changed the character and identity of the original claim by asserting a different interest rate and calculation method, making it a new claim subject to the ninety-day probate deadline. Because the claim was filed years after that deadline, it was untimely.
