Carver v. Chambers

Supreme Court of North Carolina
Carver v. Chambers, 262 N.C. 744 (N.C. 1964)

Carver v. Chambers

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

If John D. Clayton devised to his daughter, Ella Clayton Owen, only a life estate in his last will and testament, there is no contention that the judgment entered below does not set out the respective interests of the parties correctly. Moreover, in the case of Owen v. Gates, 241 N.C. 407, 85 S.E. 2d 340, this Court held that Ella Owen took only a life estate in the lands devised to her under her father’s will. Therefore, the judgment of the court below is

Affirmed.
