Parker v. Vallerand

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine. Androscoggin
Oct 4, 1939
8 A.2d 594 (Me. 1939)

Opinion

Decided October 4, 1939.


No sufficient foundation was laid for this bill in equity under Revised Statutes, Chapter 118, Section 52, et seq., to remove a cloud on the title to certain real estate the real title to which, or to an undivided interest in common therein, plaintiff alleges vested in herself.

A cloud on title is something, such as a mortgage, deed or other instrument, which can be pointed out, and which, as a semblance of title, either legal or equitable, has some appearance of casting a valid objection over the true owner's title.

There was no such showing at the trial below. Exceptions overruled. Appeal dismissed. Decree below affirmed. Seth May, for plaintiff. Clifford Clifford, for defendants.
