¶1Dissenting Opinion by

Mb. Justice Mandebino :

¶2I concur that the specific objections raised to the lower court’s jurisdiction did not have merit. I dissent, however, from the majority’s ruling that the estate of the deceased-grantee is an indispensable party. That issue cannot be decided on the record before us. The matter should be remanded for findings of fact. The administration of deceased-grantee’s estate may be closed and the defendants of record may be the only real parties in interest as the sole heirs of the deceased-grantee’s estate.
