Edwards v. Smith
Edwards v. Smith
35 Miss. 197
Edwards v. Smith
Opinion of the Court
The question in this case is whether the instrument admitted to probate, as the last will and testament of L. F. Henderson,‘deceased, was designed by the deceased to operate as a will, or as a deed.
We are of opinion that it was intended to operate as a deed, and whether it can so operate or not, it cannot be regarded as a will, for the reason that it was not designed as such.
Decree reversed.
