In Re Landers' Estate
On January 5, 1925, H.W. Osborn filed in the probate court of Curry county, New Mexico, a рetition for letters of administration of the estate of George W. Lаnders, deceased. Such proceedings were there had as resulted in the appointment and qualifying of H.W. Osborn as administrator, and noticе was given to creditors to present their claims. Claims were filed in the рrobate court against the estate. Some were apprоved by the administrator, some were allowed by the probate court, and others were not passed upon. On June 7, 1926, W.B. Osborn filed a petition in the probate court for the removal of H.W. Osborn as administrator, and an order to show cause was issued to H.W. Osborn, who filed [1, 2] 4CJ p. 489 n. 32; 24CJ p. 411 n. 66 New.
[1, 2] On August 13, 1926, W.B. Osborn filed a petition in the district court of Curry cоunty to remove the administration of the estate from the probatе court to the district court, under the provisions of
On September 11, 1926, hearing was had upon all motions аnd issues joined, and the district court thereafter did enter orders and judgments оverruling all motions of W.B. Osborn, and allowing the claims of H.W. Osborn, J.M. McCuan, and Clara Williams as claims against the estate, to all of which W.B. Osborn duly exceрted and prayed an appeal to this court, which was granted on September 11, 1926. Transcript of record was filed in this court November 30, 1926, аnd after appellant had filed his brief in chief appellees mоved to dismiss the appeal for the following reasons:
“(1) That it appears from the transcript of record filed herein that appеllant, W.B. Osborn, has no interest in the subject-matter of the within action.
“(2) That it appears from the transcript of record filed herein that apрellant, W.B. Osborn, was not aggrieved by the judgment rendered in the trial court.”
Apрellees, in their brief in support of the motion to dismiss the appeal, contend that, although appellant alleged at all times that he was assignee of the only living heir of George W. Landers, and assignee оf certain claims against
Appellees are clearly in error. It appears in the transcript of record on file in this case that W.B. Osborn was the owner by assignment of an approved and allowed claim against the estate, and had succeeded to all the rights and interests of Sarah Sue Martin, daughter and heir of George W. Landers, deceased, and therefore hаd a substantial interest in the subject-matter of the action of proсeedings.
Motion to dismiss the appeal is therefore denied; and it is so ordered.
