Former Estate Representative’s Wrongful Death Action May Be a Nullity

Jul 19, 2016

The Alabama Supreme Court held that the personal representative of an estate who had been discharged and released as the estate representative prior to filing a wrongful death action, was without capacity to file the wrongful death action, and its filing was a nullity.

Where someone other than the personal representative of an estate brings a wrongful death action, the suit is a nullity that cannot be remedied by substituting the personal representative as the plaintiff.

Being a lawyer doesn’t mean doing business as usual.
