George A. Helme, Respondent v. Mary E. Buckelew, as Executrix of Frederick L. Buckelew, Deceased, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, granting the motion to vacate service of process on a foreign executrix and holding that §1836a of the Code of Civil Procedure does not confer personal jurisdiction over a foreign executor when no estate assets are present in the state and the executor has not submitted to the jurisdiction.
