Annotations

  • Evidence presented before a county court as to the amount which should be allowed by the court to reimburse an administratrix for expenses incurred in maintaining the decedent's cattle operation as an asset of decedent's estate where the administratrix was dealing with herself as landowner on which land the cattle grazed was not a contract as prohibited under this section as no money changed hands until after the reimbursement was presented to the court for approval with notice given to all interested parties.
