Probate Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Carey, Sean

 

AC47615 - Chartier v. Valliere (“The defendants Allen Chartier and Carolyn Chartier appeal from the judgment of the Superior Court admitting to probate the purported will of the decedent, Susan Chartier, which names the plaintiffs, Jeremy A. Chartier and Dianne Laferriere, as executors of the decedent’s estate. On appeal, the defendants claim that the court (1) improperly denied their motion to dismiss the present action on timeliness grounds, and, (2) in the alternative, incorrectly found that the plaintiffs had satisfied their burden of showing that the purported will was properly executed. We agree with the defendants’ first claim and, accordingly, vacate the judgment of the Superior Court.”)
