Summary
In Wilson v. Channell (102 Kan. 793; 175 P. 95) it was held that an indebtedness owing by an heir to his ancestor constitutes an equitable lien upon such heir's distributive share in the ancestor's real property superior to the lien of a judgment existing and docketed against the heir at the time of the ancestor's death, and that after final settlement the interests of the other heirs in the real property are superior to the lien of the judgment creditor.
