United States v. Hellard

1 Citing case

  1. Grisso v. United States

    138 F.2d 996 (10th Cir. 1943)   Cited 13 times
    In Grisso v. United States, 138 F.2d 996, we held that restricted Indian owners of land in joint tenancy were indispensable parties to a partition proceedings under the 1918 Act, and a deed issued in pursuance to a partition proceedings in which all joint tenants were not parties was void.

    And where the proceedings in an action for partition are regular in every respect, the judgment is final and a conveyance executed pursuant to its provisions passes title free of restrictions. United States v. Hellard, 10 Cir., 138 F.2d 985. As we have already said, this land was restricted against alienation, without the approval of the appropriate county court; and the deeds executed by Barnett Simpson and Pearl Fisher were wholly ineffective because not approved and therefore failed to convey any interest in the land.
