Citations

  • 61 Miss. 148

Syllabus

<p>1. Guardian and Ward. Expenditure for support. Probate jurisdiction. Under Code 1880, f¡ 2111, the chancery court cannot ratify a guardian’s expenditures for the maintenance of his ward who has parents, but a precedent order is necessary.</p> <p>2. Same. Advancement of necessaries. Equity jurisdiction. The result in such a case, it seems, would be the same if the guardian expended his own money and by original bill sought reimbursement out of his ward’s estate which was to come into his hands.</p>
