  1. Guess v. Going

    62 Ark. App. 19 (Ark. Ct. App. 1998)   Cited 11 times
    In Guess v. Going, 62 Ark. App. 19, 966 S.W.2d 930 (1998), the court of appeals held that the decedent's granddaughter and husband were strangers to the estate, as they were not heirs, distributees or devisees, beneficiaries of or claimants against the estate.

    The action to set aside the land-sale agreement between Anna Guess and strangers to her estate properly belonged in chancery court. See Dent v. Wright, 322 Ark. 256, 909 S.W.2d 302 (1995); Merrell v. Smith, Special Admr., 226 Ark. 1016, 295 S.W.2d 624 (1956); Sykes v. Campbell, 221 Ark. 858, 256 S.W.2d 320 (1953); Petree v. Petree, 211 Ark. 654, 201 S.W.2d 1009 (1947); Beller v. Jones, 22 Ark. 92 (1860); Kelly's Heirs v. McGuire, 15 Ark. 555 (1854). Any attempt to extend probate court jurisdiction without specific authority is void. Carpenter v. Logan, 281 Ark. 184, 662 S.W.2d 808 (1984).
