Description
Appellee Samuel Downing McDaniel sued Jill M. Johnson Logan, individually and as independent executrix of the estate of Jim Pearce Johnson, in Travis County to recover attorney's fees for representing Johnson in guardianship proceedings in Hays County that preceded Johnson's death. Relying on an order issued during the guardianship proceedings that held Johnson had the capacity to hire his own attorney, the Travis County Probate Court granted partial summary judgment in favor of McDaniel. That portion of the probate proceeding was severed, and Logan, Johnson's daughter and independent executrix of his estate, brings this appeal. She urges that McDaniel had no authority to represent her father and that the order issued by the Hays County court during the guardianship proceedings was interlocutory in nature and therefore could not have collateral estoppel or res judicata effect. We will affirm.
