Supervised Estate: Kenneth J. Schaefer v. Estate of Cletus P. Schaefer, Deceased

── Supervised Estate: Kenneth J. Schaefer v. Estate of Cletus P. Schaefer, Deceased ── Case No.: 20A-ES-01007 Court: Indiana Court of Appeals Date: July 08, 2021 Author: Judge Melissa May Category: Civil Decision: Rehearing Judge Riley and Judge Altice concur Kenneth J. Schaefer files a petition for rehearing, asking this court to interpret Indiana Code section 29-1-17-3, which governs abatement of estate assets should the estate be insolvent. As the trial court did not rule on that issue in the order appealed to our court, any opinion we would render would be premature and purely advisory in nature. See State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co. v. Glasgow, 478 N.E.2d 918, 926 (Ind. Ct. App.
