Rose Ingram v. Edwin M. Van Dall.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama held that the St. Clair County probate court lacked subject‑matter jurisdiction to issue letters of administration for Jackie Ingram’s estate because the decedent was a resident of Jefferson County and had no assets in St. Clair County. Consequently, the St. Clair Circuit Court also lacked jurisdiction, so its order denying Rose Ingram’s motion to revoke those letters was vacated and the action dismissed without prejudice.
