Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Panel: DEBORAH S. EYLER, ZARNOCH, WRIGHT, JJ.


ZARNOCH, Judge.

In this case, we are asked to determine whether the orphans' court or the circuit court is the proper forum for the determination of factual issues in appellant's caveat proceeding. For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that the Orphans' Court for Baltimore City erred in rejecting as untimely the appellant's Petition to Transmit Issues to the Circuit Court.
