• 230 Conn. App. 174

Syllabus

The intervenor appealed from the trial court's judgment granting the plain- tiff's motion to dismiss her postjudgment motion to modify a lifetime alimony award for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The intervenor claimed that the court improperly concluded that, as executrix of the defendant's estate, she lacked standing. Held: The trial court improperly concluded that the intervenor lacked standing to seek modification of the alimony award because the potential harm to the defendant's estate, namely, the depletion of its assets, was direct and, as the sole legal representative of the estate, the intervenor was the only individual who could properly move to modify the alimony award on its behalf.
