I concur. It would not always follow that a probate court in passing upon an application for partial distribution would be warranted in disregarding claims like those of appellants, simply because they did not constitute an indebtedness of the estate in a technical sense. The pendency of a suit to recover valuable estate inventoried as property of a decedent upon the ground that he held it as trustee, or upon any tenable ground, and the possible success of such suit would be an important consideration in any case where the loss of the property in litigation might result in a deficiency of assets to pay debts and expenses of administration. But no such case is presented by this record.
