Case Notes
Documents.
This section would not bar the contestant's argument concerning two certificates of deposit where the record did not reveal that a document, listing the certificates as items not included in the estate, was filed during the probate proceedings. Swaffar v. Swaffar, 327 Ark. 235, 938 S.W.2d 552 (1997), cert. denied, 522 U.S. 820, 118 S. Ct. 73 (1997).
Failure to Give Notice.
It was a great irregularity for a probate court to confirm an administrator's account before the notice required by former statute was given, but the clerk's omission of his duty did not render the account fraudulent. Greely Burnham Grocery Co. v. Graves, 43 Ark. 171 (1884) (decision under prior law).
Special Notice Not Required.
All persons interested in settlement of an administrator were charged with notice of its filing, and special notice to those interested was not required. Jones v. Graham, 36 Ark. 383 (1880) (decision under prior law).
