Court | Montana Supreme Court |
Proceeding in the matter of the estate of Virgil F. Blankenbaker deceased, to determine the inheritance tax due the state. From an order denying a motion for new trial, rehearing, and reappraisement, Ella M. Blankenbaker appeals and the State Board of Equalization moves to dismiss the appeal.
Motion granted.
Ralph J. Anderson, of Helena, for appellant.
S. B Chase, Jr., of Great Falls, for respondent.
On the 3rd day of August, 1938, the district court of Chouteau county entered an order and judgment determining the inheritance tax due in the estate of Virgil F. Blankenbaker deceased. Thereafter Ella M. Blankenbaker, sole heir and executrix of the estate, filed a motion for new trial, rehearing and reappraisement. This motion was denied on January 5, 1939. On March 6 the executrix filed a notice of appeal from the order of January 5. No appeal was taken from the order or judgment of August 3rd, 1938, within sixty days after its entry, or at all. The State Board of Equalization has moved to dismiss the appeal, contending that the law does not provide for an appeal from an order denying a motion for new trial, rehearing or reappraisement.
The right to apply for a rehearing in a proceeding to determine the inheritance tax is provided for in section 10400.28, Revised Codes, reading:
If the right of appeal from an order denying a rehearing or reappraisement exists it is by virtue of section 10366, which adopts the general statutes--sections 9008 to 9832--relating to new trials and appeals for probate proceedings not otherwise expressly provided for. There is no express appeal provided for from such an order, and, if it is appealable, it is by virtue of section 9731, Revised Codes, which is among those adopted by section 10366. Section 9731 is not sufficiently comprehensive to authorize an appeal from an order denying a rehearing or reappraisement. The statute not authorizing it, an appeal does not lie.
