23 P.2d 34 | Cal. | 1933
The respondents, heirs of the deceased Sabrina L.B. Farrow, have made a motion to dismiss the appeal herein, on the ground that the same is frivolous, and also on the ground that no order that this court might make could affect the interest of the appellant administrator. On July 15, 1930, the appellant filed a petition in the probate court to have ascertained and declared the rights of all persons to, and their interests in, the estate of the deceased. Subsequently the court made an order requiring notice to be served upon all persons claiming any interest in the estate, in accordance with the provisions of section 1664 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Thereafter the court made its order determining the interests of the respondents in the estate and ordering the appellant to distribute the funds in his possession to the respondents, the final account of appellant having theretofore been filed and approved.
The appellant contends that the petition to determine the interest of heirs having been filed by the administrator and not by one claiming to be an heir, the court should have ordered notice to be given under section
It is apparent from the foregoing recitals that the appeal should be dismissed. [1] First, there is no contest between the respondents concerning their proportion of the estate, and appellant has no interest therein; [2] second, we find no provision in section
The appeal is dismissed.
