Estate of W. Lea, DA 25-0391, Affirmed

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the Tenth Judicial District Court's denial of Stacey Kelly's M.R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to set aside the final decree of distribution in her deceased husband John W. Lea's estate. Kelly, who was removed as personal representative, claimed she was entitled to relief because the successor personal representative failed to notify her of proceedings and failed to distribute sufficient assets to satisfy her intestate share under § 72-2-112, MCA. The Supreme Court upheld the denial, finding Kelly failed to demonstrate entitlement to Rule 60(b) relief.
