General Ins. Co. of America v. Barnes

Appellants claim that the trial court erred in setting aside the decree of the probate court in the final settlement of a guardianship estate. The final settlement of the guardianship was based on the verified joint petition of Dorothy Barnes, one of the appellants and mother of the appellee, and Keith Barnes, appellee and plaintiff below, who was then 21 years of age.

No appeal was taken from the final settlement decree of probate court within the time allowed by statute.1
