Indiana Court of Appeals
Roger S. Blackman v. Karen A. Gholson and James W. Blackman
52A02-1412-ES-883
Estate, supervised. Affirms dismissal of Roger Blackman’s will contest action and subsequent denial of his motion to correct error. Finds the trial court erred in dismissing the suit based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as it did have jurisdiction over Blackman’s attempted will contest action. But it was appropriate to dismiss the action due to his failure to comply with the statutes and rules for initiating such an action. His failure to pay the filing fee for the action precludes reliance upon the Journey’s Account Statute to allow him to re-file. Denies Karen Gholson and James Blackman’s request for appellate attorney fees.
