Holding
The court held that a final decree of distribution from a probate proceeding is not immune from equitable attack in a subsequent independent action where the decree was procured by extrinsic fraud or mistake, and that the probate court's jurisdiction over distribution does not strip the superior court of its constitutional equity jurisdiction to provide relief from such judgments.
