Annotations
A motion to surcharge a personal representative is properly brought within the probate proceeding, because the facts underlying such motions ultimately concern the probate of the decedent's will and the distribution of the decedent's property. In re Estate of Graham, 301 Neb. 594, 919 N.W.2d 714 (2018).
