The trial court's 2018 order found some of Thomas's petition paragraphs violated no-contest clauses, while others did not. Thomas then filed a motion for a new safe harbor determination on a third amended petition or reconsideration of the 2018 order. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, holding that the 2019 order Thomas challenged only denied reconsideration of the 2018 order and did not constitute an appealable order determining a petition under section 456.4-420.1.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","trusts","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=170393","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/julie-ann-thomas-appellant-v-kurt-e-hdoubler-individually-and-as-trustee-d36494","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"estate-planning","label":"Estate Planning","href":"/practice-areas/estate-planning","score":24,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: trusts","text: revocable trust","text: irrevocable trust","text: trustee"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/estate-planning"},{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
