In March 2015, the daughters commenced a summary process action in the Framingham Division of the District Court seeking to evict the client.  The respondent represented the client in that proceeding, and he raised there the arguments regarding the client's purported rights under the spousal elective share statute and the Homestead Act.  The court issued a judgment in favor of the daughters, and the respondent appealed from the decision to the Appellate Division of the District Court (Appellate Division), which affirmed the judgment.  In doing so, it addressed and rejected the respondent's arguments regarding the spousal elective share statute and the Homestead Act.  The respondent noticed an appeal from the Appellate Division's decision to the Appeals Court.
