Passehl Estate v. Passehl

STREIT, Justice.

As the cynic Ambrose Bierce once said, “Death is not the end. There remains the litigation oyer the estate.” 1 Jerry and Volnetta Passehl claim the district court erred by enforcing a penalty provision in their settlement agreement with the Doris N. Passehl Estate (hereinafter “the Estate”). They now seek further review of the court of appeals’ decision affirming the district court’s ruling. Because we find the terms of the penalty provision were not met, we vacate the decision of the court of appeals and reverse and remand to the district court with instructions. ■
