Denied.
Concurring Opinion
concurring in the denial of the application.
In this action in a succession proceeding to adjudicate the loss of a child’s rights in succession property on account of disinheritance under the decedent’s will, the court of appeal erroneously discussed personal jurisdiction when only jurisdiction in rem was involved.
A Louisiana court can exercise jurisdiction in rem to adjudicate the rights of a nonresident to property, movable or immovable, when the property is situated in the state.
. However, if the nonresident's claim to succession property involves property situated outside Louisiana, then jurisdiction in personam may be involved.
