Department of Social Services v. Ragsdale

GRIMM, Judge.

During decedent’s lifetime, the State claims the Department of Social Services paid benefits for him. After his death, the State filed a claim seeking reimbursement. The probate division heard evidence and entered judgment for the State.

On appeal, the estate raises one point. It alleges “there is no substantial evidence to support [the] judgment because the State failed in its burden of proof.” Specifically, it contends the State did not comply with *323§ 473.398.4 * and did not comply with the criteria of State v. Schwenneker, 742 S.W.2d 581 (Mo.App.E.D.1987). We affirm.
