Kemp v. Kemp

Supreme Court of Mississippi
Nov 29, 1971
254 So. 2d 876 (Miss. 1971)

Opinion

No. 46484.

November 29, 1971.

Appeal from the Chancery Court, Lee County, G.B. Herring, Chancellor.

Barnett Brooks, Carthage, for appellant.

James R. Allen, J.E. Smith, Carthage, for appellee.


There is no sound basis for this Court to hold that the Chancery Court of Leake County, Mississippi, erred in cancelling a deed executed by a 77-year-old widow, enfeebled by cerebral insufficiency, whereby she conveyed real property (reserving a life estate) of the value of $35,000.00 to her late husband's nephew for a consideration of $10.00 and some past favors of no particular monetary value. The Chancellor's decree is, therefore, affirmed.

Affirmed.

BRADY, PATTERSON, SMITH and SUGG, JJ., concur.
