Crouch v. Huffstutter
Crouch v. Huffstutter
Opinion of the Court
Opinion op the Court by
As the will postpones a partition until after the death of the idiot, John, as well as of his mother, and John still survives, the appellants are not now entitled to partition. But the heirs of David Huff stutter are entitled to all his rights as joint devisees with the appellee James Huffstutter, and consequently they have a right to enjoy their share, as he might do if still alive, by joint occupancy or otherwise. At the idiot’s death, therefore, the appellants or their heirs will be entitled to an allotment of their proper shares of the joint property devised to David and James,
Wherefore, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded for answer and further proceedings for ascertaining the extent of profits or whether any since David Huffstutter’s death, and for general relief as far as appellants may show themselves entitled to it.
