Dunham v. Weisenberger

NOURSE, P. J.

The appeal is from an order made in probate denying a motion made under section 473 of the Code of Civil Procedure to amend an order confirming a sale of real estate. The motion was based upon the ground that the portion of the order directing the administratrix to pay a commission on the sale to a real estate broker was inadvertently made because valuable services had not been rendered by him.

Section 1240 of the Probate Code permits an appeal from an order in probate directing a sale or confirming a sale of property of an estate. No provision is found for an appeal from an order denying an amendment to or the vacation of an order of confirmance. In
