Estate of Seitz

Opinion of the Court

The judgment recovered against Minnie Flesher by William F. Wagner and the lien acquired upon her real estate inherited from her mother, Ottilia Seitz, under Sections 5377 and 5378, were not improperly set up in the probate court in the suit to sell the real estate of Ottilia Seitz to pay debts:

Section 6145 provides for the' - determination of the equities between parties as well as the priorities of liens, and the order of the probate court merely found that the judgment of Wagner was a lien upon the interest of Minnie Flesher in the premises to be sold, and the administrator was ordered to pay the same from the balance due Minnie Flesher.

This was not such a proceeding on a cross-petition asking affirmative relief as would require the issuance of a summons to bring a party into court, nor on the other hand can this finding or order be collaterally attacked.

Judgment affirmed.
