AI generated

The court dismissed the heir's request for an estate account because she lacked standing to sue alone. The plaintiff argued she should be able to demand accounting independently, but the court held that she must join other heirs in the lawsuit. Consequently, the appeal was partially allowed to correct the procedural defect by requiring proper intervention.

SUMÁRIO

A herdeira, ainda que cabeça de casal, não tem legitimidade para, desacompanhada dos outros, pedir contas a quem administrou os bens da herança. Terá de provocar a intervenção deles.
