Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 567-A:7

  • Affirmed: In the practice of the appellate courts, the decree or order is declared valid and will stand as rendered in the lower court.
  • 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.
  • Probate: Proving a will
After an appeal has been filed in the supreme court, all proceedings in pursuance of the decision appealed from shall be stayed pending determination of the appeal by the supreme court. The probate judge may, if the interests of an estate require it, appoint a special administrator under N.H. Rev. Stat. § 553:20. A decision of a probate judge, so far as it is affirmed or unaltered by the supreme court on appeal, shall be considered to have been in force from the time it was made by the probate judge.
