Hose ex rel. K.M.H. v. Estate of Hose

DAVIS, Justice:

This matter is before the Court based upon two certified questions from the Circuit Court of Berkeley County. The certified questions ask this Court to determine whether an affidavit was sufficient to give notice of a claim against the estate of Larry B. Hose and whether the circuit court had subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint filed in this case. We find that the affidavit was sufficient in giving notice of a claim against the estate and that the circuit court has subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint.
