Mae J. Mott, Appellant v. First National Bank of St. Petersburg, as Administrator of the Estate of Samuel E. Doane…

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' dismissal of a petition by Mae J. Mott seeking to be declared an adopted heir of Samuel E. Doane, holding that the county judge lacks jurisdiction to determine the effect of a foreign adult adoption on inheritance of real property and that such questions must be decided by a court of general jurisdiction.
