Estates of Deceased Persons—Settlement of Account—Appeal— Parties—Service of Notice.—Only such persons interested in the estate of a decedent who appear in the superior court and make some objection or exception to the account of an executor or administrator, or in some way make themselves parties of record to the proceeding for the settlement of the account, are necessary parties to an appeal from an order made therein, and other persons interested in the estate as creditors, legatees, or heirs, who have not made themselves parties upon the record, need not be served with the notice of appeal from such order.

Id.—Effect of Non-Appearance of Interested Persons.—Interested persons who did not appear are deemed to have consented to the settlement of the account without their intervention, and to be willing that the proceedings should be conducted in their absence until the order appealed from becomes final upon appeal, and, having allowed other interested persons to conduct the proceedings for their benefit, must be considered as having consented that they should be represented by such persons upon the appeal.

Id.—Effect of Order for Payment of Dividends to Creditors.—An order connected in time with the settlement of the account for the payment of a dividend to the creditors whose claims have been allowed is not a part of the order settling the account, but is a part of the administration of the estate as a whole, and does not make non-appearing creditors interested in such dividend parties to the proceeding for the settlement of the account.

Id.—Adjustment of Claims—Notice of Order for Payment.—With the exception of interest-bearing claims provided for in section 1513 of the Code of Civil Procedure, there can be no valid order for the payment of a claim until after the order for the settlement of an account in "which the validity, rank, and amount of the claims and the balance on hand have been adjudicated. Notice need only be given of the settlement of the account, and not of the order for payment, which may be made on the same day or any subsequent day.

Id.—.Effect of Appeal from Order Settling Account—Suspension of Order for Dividend.—An order for the payment of claims is so interwoven with the order settling the account and determining the rank of claims that the appeal from the order settling the account suspends the effect of an order for payment of claims made at the time of settling the account, and it would be proper to withhold the order for a dividend until the contested account is determined upon appeal.

Id.—Right of Appeal.—The question whether a creditor who did not appear has a right of appeal from the order settling che account or from an order for the payment of claims is not affected by the refusal of this court to dismiss an appeal from an order settling the account between contesting parties because such creditor was not served with the notice of appeal.
