In re Estate of Weeder

Summary

The court affirmed the county court’s order allowing a claim against the decedent’s estate. It held that the county court had subject matter jurisdiction because the claim was filed and adjudicated within the probate estate, and a prior appellate decision in a separate fence action did not eliminate that jurisdiction. It also held that the law-of-the-case doctrine did not apply because the prior decision was not made in the probate action.
