In the Matter of the Estate of William C. Bugher (Deceased), Elnor Bugher, Appellant-Respondent v. William Mark Bugher and Robert C. Bugher, In Their Capacities as Co-Personal Representatives Herein, Appellees-Petitioners
No. 25A-EU-2826
Appeal from the Gibson Circuit Court, Special Judge Greg A. Granger. Elnor Bugher appeals the trial court’s judgment favoring William Mark and Robert C. Bugher in their capacities as personal representatives of the estate of William C. Bugher. The court reversed and remanded, determining that upon William’s death, the funds in joint accounts and the residential parcel belonged solely to Elnor, not the Estate. The court ruled that Mark and Robert failed to timely file a claim under the Nonprobate Transferees Act, which contributed to the decision to vacate the previous judgment and the order for attorney fees. Judge Brown authored the opinion, with Judges Altice and DeBoer concurring. Appellant’s attorneys: Todd I. Glass and Savannah L. Mundy, Fine & Hatfield, A Professional Corp., Evansville, Indiana. Appellees’ attorneys: Maurice E. Doll and Aaron D. Doll, Doll & Sievers Attorneys at Law LLC, Vincennes, Indiana.
