50 Tex. 598 | Tex. | 1879
At the time the petition in this ease was filed, the administration of estates pertained
The petition also .sought to vacate the allowance and approval of a claim against the estate. If this relief was sought on the ground that the claim was barred by limitation, the petition was manifestly defective. (Eccles v. Daniels, 16 Tex., 136; Heffner v. Brander, 23 Tex., 631.) It would seem, however, to have been claimed on the ground that the administration was a nullity. In holding the petition sufficient as a suit to vacate an administration fraudulently procured after the lapse of four years, we do not intend to intimate that the effect of vacating the administration, would be to vacate the establishment of a claim in favor of third parties not participants in the fraud.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
