Parties | TRABUE v. HENDERSON et al. |
Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
1. H. died intestate, leaving an estate valued at about $12,000, and debts amounting to over $10,000, of which $4,000 was owed as surety for his son J. After the father's death, all of the heirs deeded the farm of which the father died seised to defendant, their mother, in order to save administration, and executed a power of attorney to a sister, who thereafter managed the estate. Held, that since, if the estate had been administered in court, J.'s share would have been insufficient to pay his indebtedness to his father, his joinder in the deed to his mother was not fraudulent as to his creditors.
Appeal from Circuit Court, Jackson County; C. O. Tichenor, Special Judge.

Henderson, to his undivided one-sixth interest in a certain 480-acre tract of land in Bates county, of which his father, Eli Henderson, died seised on March 11, 1898, on the ground that it was a voluntary conveyance, without consideration, and made for the purpose of defrauding his (John M. Henderson's) creditors, and especially the plaintiff, to whom he was at the time indebted in the sum of $500, and which has since been reduced to judgment, and said John M. Henderson's interest in the land sold under execution to the plaintiff. The answers are general denials.
