Mamoulian v. St. Louis University

BLACKMAR, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order denying appellants’ Rule 74.32 motion to set aside a final order approving the compromise and dismissal of a will contest action. We granted transfer after the court of appeals issued an opinion dismissing the appeal.1 We decide the case as on original appeal and conclude that the trial court’s order of approval was not in compliance with the requirements of § 473.085, RSMo 1986. We reverse the order of the trial court denying appellant’s Rule 74.32 motion and remand the case with directions.
