IN RE ESTATE OF PRIDGEON

No. DD-43.

349 So.2d 741 (1977)

In re: ESTATE OF Earl Tom PRIDGEON, Jr., Deceased.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

August 25, 1977.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert C. Parker, Jr., Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert A. Mick, Henry, Buchanan, Mick & English, P.A., Tallahassee, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court correctly construed the term "independent action" appearing in § 733.705(3), Florida Statutes, 1975, to require the filing of a separate action upon a claim against an estate to which an objection has been filed rather than the filing of a petition for payment of the claim in the probate action. We find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in extending the claimant's time for filing such independent action.
