SUZANNE GAY, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. EVELYN STRAUBE, Defendant and Appellant; WILLIAM G. STRAUBE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. EVELYN STRAUBE, Defendant and Appellant

Holding

The court held that an action by legatees against an executrix to recover a sum awarded by a final decree of distribution is an "action upon a judgment or decree" and is therefore governed by the ten-year statute of limitations prescribed by Code of Civil Procedure section 337.5, subdivision 3.
