Practice question
A will is admitted for due execution. Later in the same proceedings, parties seek enforcement of a specific disposition whose intrinsic legality is directly disputed. One insists a separate action is always indispensable merely because allowance is final. Which is best?
- Final allowance does not by itself bar the probate court’s proper examination of the distinct intrinsic issue
- Final allowance automatically cures every invalid disposition
- The court must disregard all parties’ substantive rights
- Every intrinsic issue is waived by the mere fact of probate
- Any extrinsic finding can be reopened without limit
