Stern v. Sill
Washington Supreme Court
Appeal from an order of tbe superior court for Snobomisb county, Denney, J., entered October 27, 1904, appointing an administrator of an estate, after overruling objections to tbe jurisdiction and bearing tbe evidence on tbe merits.
1ConcurrenceKudkin, J.
(concurring)—When a resident of this state dies, I am of the opinion that jurisdiction to appoint either a special or general administrator is vested exclusively in the superior court of the county in which the decedent resided at the time of his death. For this reason I think the appointment of a special administrator by the superior court of King county, under the circumstances stated in the opinion of the court, was without jurisdiction and utterly void. I therefore concur in the judgment.
