Description
In 1948 Mary Vannatter paid $4,000 for fifteen acres of land and had the deed made to herself for life with remainder to the appellants, who are Mrs, Vannatters daughter and son-in-law. After the life tenants death the appellants brought this suit to quiet their title as against the appellees, Mrs. Vannatters other heirs. As defenses to the complaint the appellees asserted (a) that the appellants furnished none of the consideration paid to Mrs. Vannatters grantor, (b) that the appellants were named as remaindermen in return for their promise to support Mrs. Vannatter for the rest of her life, an obligation that was not fulfilled, and (c) that the appellants obtained their interest by duress and undue influence. The chancellor sustained the first of these defenses and therefore declined the appellees offer of proof on the other issues.
