In re Estate of Amet Chelo
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the superior court dismissing Appellant's probate appeal after finding that, because Appellant was under guardianship, he lacked the capacity to retain legal counsel and file an appeal to the superior court in his own name, holding that the superior court properly dismissed Appellant's appeal on the ground that Appellant lacked the capacity to bring and maintain an action in his own name.
On appeal, Appellant argued that the superior court erred in dismissing his probate appeal because he was only under a limited guardianship and was thus entitled to pursue the probate appeal on his own. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant was not under a limited guardianship, but, rather, a full guardianship, and did not retain the right to pursue this action on his own behalf.
