Questione giuridica chiave
Whether local jurisdiction existed for the claim against the daughter as heir after her mother's death
Decisione estratta
Yes. As universal successor, she had to continue the action at the deceased mother's forum, even though she never had residence there.
Motivazione estratta
Jurisdiction had been validly established when the action was filed against the mother. By universal succession, the daughter entered the pending proceedings ipso iure and had to accept the forum of the deceased; renunciation of the inheritance would have been the only way to avoid that.
