No. 828.
Charles N. Bruce vs. W. G. Bruce et als.
A partition o£ a succession cannot be judicially made unless the heirs or their representatives are parties thereto.
In a suit for partition of a tract of land, which is a part only of the property of the succession, collation from mere purchasers of specific interests in the land cannot be claimed. The fact that these purchasers are also heirs of the succession does not alter the case. The claim for collation has place only where a succession is to be partitioned.
