Alabama Code 12-11-31. Equitable jurisdiction

The powers and jurisdiction of circuit courts as to equitable matters or proceedings shall extend:

(1) To all civil actions in which a plain and adequate remedy is not provided in the other judicial tribunals.

Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
circuit: means judicial circuit. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
Discovery: Lawyers' examination, before trial, of facts and documents in possession of the opponents to help the lawyers prepare for trial.
Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.

(2) To all cases founded on a gambling consideration, so far as to sustain a petition for discovery and grant relief.

(3) To subject an equitable title or claim to real estate, and generally all equitable assets to the payment of debts.

(4) To such other cases as may be provided by law.

(5) To establish and define uncertain or disputed boundary lines, whether the complaint contains an independent equity or not.
