Estate of Sequeria

217 P. 1078 | Cal. Ct. App. | 1923

This appeal is by the guardian of the persons and the estates of Albert B. Sequeria and Louis B. Sequeria, minors, from an order denying his petition to have certain real property set apart to said minors as and for a homestead.

By stipulation of the parties the matter is submitted to us upon the record before this court in the Matter of the Estateof Maria Mendes, ante, p. 11 [217 P. 1077]. The decision of this court in the last-mentioned appeal is controlling here.[1] The same property is involved in both matters and it was decided in the Matter of the Estate of Maria Mendes, supra, in an opinion filed this day, that the title to the property in controversy, which had been homesteaded during the period of marriage between Manuel Bas Sequeria and Maria Carolina Sequeria (Maria Mendes), vested in the survivor, Maria Carolina Sequeria (Maria Mendes), upon the death of her husband. It follows that the court had no power in this proceeding to set apart said property to the minor children of Manuel Bas Sequeria.

The order appealed from is affirmed.

Nourse, J., and Sturtevant, J., concurred.
