Craft v. Estate of Craft
Craft v. Estate of Craft
Opinion of the Court
This cause is before this Court on appeal from a judgment of the County Judge’s Court of Palm Beach County which allegedly inherently construed Fla.Const., art. V, § 7(3), F.S.A. (repealed January 1, 1973), as to the jurisdiction of the County Judge’s Court.
The action arose before the trial court on a petition for construction and revocation of probate of a portion of the will of James E. Craft, specifically that portion dealing with a trust which Craft has created. A motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction was granted, and this order was appealed. It is urged that, in determining that the County Judge’s Court did not have jurisdiction over the questions involving a trust, the trial judge inherently construed Fla.Const., art. V, §7(3), F.S.A. (repealed January 1, 1973), which dealt with the jurisdiction of the now dissolved County Judges’ Courts.
It is so ordered.
