Estate of Elliot

Summary

The Court affirmed approval of four settlement agreements resolving litigation involving Ian Elliot's Estate and affirmed denial of the Objectors' post-judgment motions. It held that the probate court had subject matter jurisdiction to approve compromises of claims involving the Estate, that approval was reviewed for abuse of discretion, and that the court reasonably applied settlement factors and considered the Estate's best interests. The Court also held that the Objectors could not use post-judgment motions to relitigate previously decided matters or challenge an untimely order. No separate opinions were filed.
