delivered the opinion of the court.
On the death of Domingo Pérez Viera several of his creditors petitioned for the administration of his estate, alleging that they did not know whether he had made a will. The district court granted that petition and appointed the widow, *148Julia Muñiz Rivera, as administratrix. Later some of tlie children of the deceased moved tlie court to set aside its appointment of the administratrix for tlie reason that Domingo Pérez Viera had left a will in which he designated his children as his heirs and named his brother, Ramón Pérez Viera, as the executor and partitioner of his estate. The court heard the parties and finding the existence of said will undisputed, set aside its appointment of the administratrix. That order was appealed from by administratrix Juba Muñiz Rivera and it is moved that the appeal be dismissed because she is not a party to these proceedings as such administra-trix. The motion has not been opposed by the appellant.
A judicial administrator may appeal in his representative capacity when, in such capacity, he is interested and a party aggrieved by the decision appealed from, and he has a right of appeal in proceedings in which he represents the estate under his administration as plaintiff or defendant; in case of his unlawful removal from office, and in other similar cases cited in 3 C. J. page 644, par. 507; but not in the present proceeding wherein the administratrix is not an interested party in her representative capacity, for the proceeding is between the creditors and the heirs and the only question at issue between the real parties is that by reason of the existence of an executor and partitioner of the estate named in the will of Domingo Pérez Viera an administration should not be ordered and' consequently the appointment of an ad-ministratrix by the court was erroneous.
The widow of Domingo Pérez Viera may have some interest in the estate left on the death of her husband, but she has taken this appeal in her capacity as administratrix and it should be dismissed.
Justices Wolf and Hutchison dissented.
