Stewart v. Farrel
Supreme Court of New Hampshire

1Opinion of the CourtJohnson, J.
The plaintiffs, Brenda and Mark Stewart (the Stewarts), appeal a decision by the Superior Court (Cann, J.) denying their petition, pursuant to RSA 556:28, to extend the time for filing notice of claim against the Estate of Robert E. Farrel (the estate) with the defendant executrix, Joan K. Farrel. The Stewarts argue that, because justice and equity required an extension and their failure to file timely was not the result of culpable neglect, the superior court erred in refusing to grant their petition. For reasons that follow, we reverse and remand.
