Text: We begin by emphasizing that the Kearney County civil case is not before us in this appeal. At oral arguments, the parties seemed to agree that no aspect of the Kearney County case is final or appealable at this time. We consider only the appointment orders and letters of personal representative from the Franklin County probate case. Although some documents from the Kearney County case were judicially noticed during the March 22, 2021, Franklin County probate hearing but were not included in the Franklin County Court’s bill of exceptions, those documents are unnecessary to the limited issues before us. 6 3 In re Estate of Beltran, ante p. 174, 964 N.W.2d 714 (2021). 4 See In re Estate of Giventer, ante p. 39, 964 N.W.2d 234 (2021). 5 In re Estate of Beltran, supra note 3. 6 See In re Estate of Radford, 297 Neb. 748, 901 N.W.2d 261 (2017) (bill of exceptions is only vehicle for bringing evidence before appellate court; evidence which is not made part of bill of exceptions may not be considered). - 987 - Nebraska Supreme Court Advance Sheets 310 Nebraska Reports IN RE ESTATE OF SEVERSON Cite as 310 Neb. 982
