Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Andre Lee died intestate, survived by three children, including the appellee, Nicole Lee. The estate’s assets included real property and settlement proceeds. Prior to the formal appointment of a personal representative, Nicole Lee executed a document titled “Disclaimer of Interest in Property of Estate.” The document, which was witnessed and notarized, stated that she irrevocably disclaimed all interest in “All Estate assets.” The appellant, Camille Lee, was appointed personal representative and, relying on the disclaimer, filed a petition for discharge and distribution of assets to the remaining heirs. The disclaimer was filed with the court. Approximately one year later, Nicole Lee filed an objection, asserting the disclaimer was legally deficient. The probate court agreed, finding the disclaimer invalid because it failed to specifically identify the real property, thereby violating both the disclaimer statute and the statute of frauds. The personal representative appealed the order striking the disclaimer.
