Heading: Capacity of Estate of Horst Grosse to be Sued

Text: The Crowes argue that they have raised a genuine issue of material fact regarding the capacity of the Estate of Horst Grosse to be sued. The Crowes, however, failed to plead lack of capacity in their answer to the Bank's complaint. We agree with the District Court that the capacity of the estate as a defendant has not been properly placed in issue. See M.R.Civ.P. 9(a); [2] Architectural Woodcraft Co. v. Read, 464 A.2d 210, 212 n. 3 (Me.1983); Royal Coachman Color Guard v. Marine Trading & Transp., Inc., 398 A.2d 382, 384 n. 3 (Me. 1979).
