Court of Appeals of Indiana
Imogene Perry v. Anne H. Poindexter, Personal Representative of the Supervised Estate of Richard Abbott, Janice Mandla Mattingly, Michael P. Brown and Phillip Brown
22A-EU-2774
Estate. Reverses the Hamilton Superior Court’s denial of Imogene Perry’s motion for relief from default judgment. Finds the trial court erred when it denied Perry’s motion for relief from judgment because she did not receive notice of the estate’s motion for return of funds and/or the related hearing in a way calculated to provide her a meaningful opportunity to appear and defend herself. Remands to the trial court to hold a hearing on all pending motions in the matter including but not limited to the motion for return of funds and any motions with respect to fees Perry and/or the estate paid to Janice Mandla Mattingly and/or Lauth Investigations International Inc.
