Syllabus

<p>Executobs and Administratobs — Distbibution—Oedeb-—Effect— Wills — Descent and Distbibution. Upon the probate of a will in favor of a husband, which was void as to the testator’s children because they were not named or provided for in the will, a decree of final distribution awarding all the property to the husband, upon published notice as required by statute, is conclusive and binding upon the children, if unquestioned and unappealed from, notwithstanding Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1366, providing that upon the death of a person seized of lands, the title thereto shall vest immediately in his heirs or devisees.</p> <p>Same — Notice of Application for Distribution. Under Rem. & Bal. Code, §§ 1499, 1500, and 1589, personal notice to the heirs is not necessary to confer jurisdiction upon the court to enter a final order of distribution which is binding and conclusive on them, although erroneous.</p>
