In Re Estate of Alfred C. Diviney, Sr.

Case Number
M2017-00739-COA-R3-CV

In an agreed order settling a widow’s claim for exempt property and homestead against her husband’s estate, the parties included language that they were settling “all claims that the Petitioner asserted or might have asserted in the Petition.” When the widow subsequently petitioned for a year’s support and elective share, the trial court held that her claim was barred by res judicata. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
