Estes v. Estes

HODGES, Justice.

The issues in this case are (1) whether interdocket boundaries prohibited the district court from exercising authority 1 over an action to decide title to property omitted from an inventory and distribution in a probate but claimed to be exempt from the probate estate, and (2) if not, whether the district court erred in granting defendant’s motion to dismiss.
