In re Estate of Lorraine R. O'Neill

Summary

The New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed the probate division’s grant of ancillary administration of the decedent’s New Hampshire real estate, holding that the division possessed subject‑matter jurisdiction over the petition. It also rejected the appellant’s plain‑error claim, remanding the case for further proceedings. The decision rests on a plain‑meaning reading of RSA 547:3 and related statutes.
