Estates or Deceased Persons—Further Administration—When Unnecessary.—An application for the appointment of an administrator with the will annexed is properly denied when it appears that all the debts of t'he deceased and costs of administration have been paid, that the executor’s accounts have been approved and allowed, and the property of the estate partitioned and distributed to those entitled thereto.

Id.—When Further Administration Proper.—Further administration should not be granted unless there still remains property of the estate not fully disposed of or some act to be done relating to the estate which only an administrator can do.

Descent and Distribution—-Title op Heirs and Devisees—Decree op Distribution.—Heirs and devisees take at once by inheritance or by the terms of the will; their title does not originate in the decree of distribution, although the decree when it has become final constitutes a muniment of title which will prevail over contrary provisions of the will or of the statutes of descent.

Voluntary Distribution—Estoppel.—Where heirs and devisees and all parties in interest have assumed t'o divide the dstate, and their division has been acquiesced in for many years and everything necessary to complete administration has been done except the formal decree of distribution, a court is not required to grant letters for the mere purpose of determining anew the proper distribution of the estate on the request of one claiming under a devisee who had many years before been party to a voluntary distribution of which he had without objection received and retained the benefits.

Res Judicata—Order Denying Distribution.—An order which has been in force many years, reciting that various previous orders approving and settling accounts and directing and confirming distribution of the estate from time to time, had become final and conclusive and that final and complete distribution of an estate has been made, declaring that no decree of distribution will be made other than one confirming the distribution already made, is not a mere opinion, but an order “refusing the distribution” of an estate upon the ground that the estate has been fully distributed, and such order having been appealed from, became final and conclusive on all parties in interest.
