Betty Boyd sought a widow’s-year’s-support award from the estate of her late husband, Emmett Taylor Boyd, while the estate’s representative sought summary judgment based on an agreement affecting the estate’s assets. The superior court granted Charlie Boyd summary judgment and dismissed Betty’s petition. The Court of Appeals vacated the judgment and remanded. The trial court had not adequately analyzed whether Betty relinquished her statutory right to a year’s support or whether the agreement’s provisions controlled the disposition of the estate. The existence and legal effect of the agreement presented issues that could not be resolved without applying the correct statutory framework and examining the relevant provisions together. The appellate court did not decide the ultimate amount of support or the final distribution of the estate. It directed the trial court to reconsider the statutory right and the agreement on a complete record. One judge concurred, and the presiding judge concurred in the judgment only.
