Yesterday the Vermont Supreme Court dismissed an appeal brought by a non-attorney executor on behalf of an estate that had several beneficiaries. The Court explained its ruling as follows: “The authorization to appear pro se is limited to representing one’s personal interest. It does not permit the representative of an estate to bring a suit pro se when there are other beneficiaries.” All 5 justices signed the order dismissing the appeal. It will not be published in the Vermont Reports.
