Synopsis

This case involves appeals from orders in two estates that required the filing of inventories and amended accountings, with objections to be filed later. The court dismissed the appeals because these orders were not final judgments.


Holding

No, the orders are not final judgments because the county judge's court retains jurisdiction to consider objections after the filings are made.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

This matter is before the court on motion in both estates to dismiss on the grounds that the order on objections to final accounting is not a final judgment.

The orders appealed from require the Executor in the Estate of Rosella M. Sager, deceased, and the Administratrix de bonis non in the Estate of Dwight E. Sager to file an inventory of the assets of both estates and to file amended final return in each estate. Said order further provides that all interested parties shall have thirty days after the filing of such inventory and amended accounting to file their objections to the same. Such orders, by the terms thereof, are not final in that the county judge’s court retains jurisdiction. F.S.A. § 732.15.

Accordingly, the motions to dismiss in both cases are granted.

SMITH, C. J., and SHANNON and ANDREWS, JJ., concur.
