Lee argued the initial judgment was void due to due process violations and that the final settlement was void for lack of a hearing on his objections and non-compliance with statutory receipt requirements. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Lee's appeal of the initial judgment was untimely and he lacked standing to assert his mother's due process rights. The court further found no statutory requirement for a hearing on final settlement objections and that the discharge receipt requirements were satisfied.","primaryTopic":"estate-probate","topicSlugs":["estate-probate","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=227194","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-the-matter-of-shirley-mae-butler-incdsb-gregory-lee-petitioner-appella-d38425","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"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":"respondent"}]}
