Citation | 33 S.E. 799,56 S.C. 38 |
Parties | SIMON. v. SABB et al. |
Court | South Carolina Supreme Court |
FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES — PARTIES — MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE—ADMINISTRATOR OF MORTGAGOR — MARRIED WOMEN — CONTRACT—PLEADING—APPEAL.
1. In an action to set aside a deed, and subject land to the lien of a mortgage, it was alleged that, while one who was entitled to a deed from the holder of the legal title was negotiating for a loan, she, after the consummation of the deal, but before the delivery of the mortgage, caused the holder of the legal title to convey to her daughters instead of to her, and that such conveyance was without consideration, and fraudulent. Held, that the administrator of one of the deceased daughters is not a necessary party when all her heirs are joined as defendants.
2. Under Act 1894 (21 St. at Large, 816), which provides that from and after its passage no sale under or by virtue of any mortgage shall be valid to pass the title of the land mortgaged unless the debt for which the mortgage was given shall be first established by the judgment of some court of competent jurisdiction, the administrator of a deceased mortgagor, though the mortgage was executed before the passage of the act, is a necessary party to the foreclosure of the mortgage.
3. In an action on a contract made with a married woman at a time when she could bind herself only on contracts for the benefit of her separate estate, a complaint which shows that she was a married woman, but does not allege that the contract sued on was for the benefit of her separate estate, is demurrable.
4. A mortgage signed by a married woman, which recites that it is given to secure advances of supplies for agricultural purposes to be made to two others, who also execute the mortgage, to be used in cultivating land belonging in part to the married woman, is not a contract for the benefit of her separate estate.
5. A complaint is not subject to a demurrer if it contains allegations entitling the plaintiff to relief at law or in equity.
6. In an action to set aside a deed as fraudulent, and to subject land to a mortgage, where it is alleged that one who was entitled to the legal title of the land just before the execution by her of a mortgage on the same to secure advances fraudulently procured the legal title to be conveyed to her daughters, the plaintiff, being the assignee of such mortgage, need not allege that he was an innocent purchaser for value, without notice.
7. On appeal the supreme court will not consider statements set out in the exceptions, but which are not elsewhere incorporated in the record.
8. In an action to foreclose a mortgage it is error to adjudge that defendants, who are not bound by the debt secured by the mortgage, shall pay any deficiency after a sale of the mortgaged premises.
