Supreme Court of Alaska.

February 6, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven D. Smith, Law Offices of Steven D. Smith, P.C., Anchorage, for Appellant.

D. Scott Dattan, Law Offices of D. Scott Dattan, Anchorage, for Appellees.

Before: BRYNER, Chief Justice, MATTHEWS, EASTAUGH, FABE, and CARPENETI, Justices.

OPINION

MATTHEWS, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

A creditor of an insolvent estate objected to its closure on the ground that the deceased had made fraudulent transfers. Without deciding whether this claim merited further inquiry, the court ordered the estate closed. Since property transferred in fraud of creditors is potentially estate property, we conclude that it was error to close the estate without addressing the validity of the claim.
