Indiana Court of Appeals
In the Matter of the Estate of Robin L. Ropp, Deceased. Kay L. Smith v. Jay T. Ropp
23A-EU-1168
Estate unsupervised. Affirms the Whitley Circuit Court’s order that determined Kay Smith did not have standing to challenge the final accounting of the Robin Ropp estate. Finds that while Smith had standing to object to the estate’s final accounting, the trial court did not err when it denied her repeated requests to do so because she unnecessarily prolonged the proceedings, which resulted in significant depletion of the estate’s assets meant for the children.
