Reference of claim to third person
Official statutory text
If the executor or administrator doubts the correctness of any
claim presented to him, he may enter into an agreement, in writing,
with the claimant, to refer the matter in controversy to some
disinterested person, to be approved by the judge of the county
court. Upon filing the agreement, and approval of the judge of the
county court, in the office of the clerk of the district court for
the county or judicial subdivision in which the letters testamentary
or of administration were granted, the clerk must, either in
vacation or in term, enter a minute of the order referring the
matter in controversy to the person so selected; or if the parties
consent, a reference may be had in the county court; and the report
of the referee, if confirmed, establishes or rejects the claim, the
same as if it had been allowed or rejected by the executor or
administrator and the county judge.
