THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF MIAMI, APPELLANT,
v.
SONIA FELDMANN RISOLIA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1967-05-31
No. 67-154
Before HENDRY, C. J., and PEARSON and SWANN, JJ.
200 So. 2d 260 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1967) Positive Treatment
Cited by 2 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

A review of appellee’s amended petition discloses that the relief sought concerns the construction of the terms and provisions of a will. In re Rogers’ Estate, Fla.App. 1965, 180 So.2d 167; King v. Citizens & Southern Nat. Bank of Atlanta, Ga., Fla.App.1958, 103 So.2d 689. The circuit court has jurisdiction to construe the provisions of a will so long as the will has first been probated and the circuit court was the court first obtaining jurisdiction for construction. Section 732.42 Fla.Stat., F.S.A.; In re Dahl’s Estate, Fla.App.1960, 125 So.2d 332, 335.

Therefore, no error has been shown in the order of the circuit court denying appellant’s motion to dismiss appellee’s amended petition and we affirm.

Affirmed.
