Syllabus

<p>DISTRIBUTION OF ESTATE — PARTIES.</p> <p>1. Owners of property in common should be made parties to a judgment looking to its partition.</p> <p>2. A rule made absolute by judgment, which does not distribute funds among all the heirs, will be annulled, and the case remanded.</p> <p>3. Although it may be that in the general distribution those heirs not made parties will not succeed in upholding any claim to any portion because of personal indebtedness, they should none the less be made parties, as they own at least a residuary interest in the funds to be distributed.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
