Harper v. Strutz
California Supreme Court Jul 1, 1879 No. No. 6274Published
Synopsis
Rights of Heir Pending Administration of Estate.—Pending the administration of an estate, the right to the possession of the property is exclusively in the administrator, and the heir cannot maintain an action of ejectment or to quiet title.—[Reporter.]
By the Court : The judgment is affirmed, because it appears by the record that at the time the action was brought there had been no distribution of the estate of Rosanna Keenan, deceased, and Bronner was still administrator of her estate, with the will annexed.
Judgment affirmed. Remittitur forthwith.
