Description

The record presents this situation: Land is conveyed to T. N. Allen and wife without naming the feme grantee. Allen dies testate, leaving surviving his widow and one child by a former marriage. In his will he devises his personal property and a life estate in the land to his widow. The widow qualifies as executrix, takes the personal property, and remains in possession of the land until her death. After her death, a collateral relative acquired a two-thirds interest in such estate as she owned in the land, and the feme defendant acquired the other one-third. The feme defendant, sole surving heir of T. N. Allen, now claims the whole estate.
