Burdick v. Burdick
Burdick v. Burdick
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a final judgment entered in a probate proceeding below on September 16, 1981, wherein the personal representative of a decedent’s estate [appel-lee Isadore Burdick] is authorized to recover $44,155.72 from the decedent’s widow [appellant Doris Burdick], We reverse.
Without dispute, the above $44,155.52 was paid by the above personal representative to the decedent’s widow pursuant to a prior final order of the court dated November 21, 1977, which was never appealed by any party. See Burdick v. Burdick, 399 So.2d 410 (Fla.3d DCA 1981). Almost four years later, the trial court substantially modified that final order by requiring the decedent’s widow to disgorge $44,155.52
The final judgment under review is, accordingly, reversed and the cause is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.
