“successful termination of the litigation”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The application filed in the county court was expressly authorized by the provisions of articles 3433, 3434, and 3435, and in article 3434 the executor or administrator is the only person named upon whom citation must be served. That was a special statutory procedure in which the executor was made the legal representative of all persons interested in the estate. * ⅜ And the proceeding being statutory, there is no basis for application of the common-law rule that all persons whose interests are to be affected must be made parties to the suit. It is therefore clear that there was no lack of necessary parties.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Mason v. Mason““There are no words of present assignment, transfer or conveyance * * *. They promise to give a part of what may be recovered or to make payment in cash out of the proceeds recovered.””
