Steuben County Wine Co. v. Lee
Steuben County Wine Co. v. Lee
Opinion of the Court
Complainant, a judgment creditor of defendant Horace D. Lee, filed this bill in aid of execution to reach certain real estate previously conveyed by Horace D. Lee to his daughter, Ora E. Alton. On the part of the defense it is claimed that the premises were deeded to compensate Mrs. Alton for property that came to the father’s hands from the estate of her mother’s father, and which was due and owing to her by reason of her mother’s decease. The other, defendants were incumbrancers by mortgages made by said Lee before said conveyance, upon a sufficient consideration.
There is testimony that Ezra Brown was the grandfather of Ora Alton, and about the year 1880 he died, leaving an estate of about $500 to his daughter, Ora Alton’s mother. This came to the possession of Mr. Lee,
We think the complainant is entitled to relief. The decree is reversed, and a decree will be entered in this court that the deed to the said Ora Alton be held void as against the complainant, and that the premises described therein are subject to the levy of said complainant’s execution, subject to incumbrances held by other defendants, and that complainant recover its costs of both courts.
