- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Decedent: A deceased person.
- person: may extend and be applied to bodies politic and corporate, and to partnerships and other unincorporated associations. See Missouri Laws 1.020
- Probate: Proving a will
- Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
When an appeal is taken from any appealable order, judgment or decree in the administration of a decedent‘s estate, made prior to the decree of final settlement and distribution, the probate division of the circuit court, in its discretion, and if no person is prejudiced thereby, may order that the appeal be stayed until the decree of final distribution is made and that the appeal be heard only as a part of any appeal which may be taken from the decree of final settlement and distribution. This section does not apply to guardianships.
