Description
This case concerns a deed to three tracts of land, consisting of some 500 acres, executed by K. E. Huddleston, in 1936, to his son, Elam. K. E. Huddleston retained full control and use of the lands during his life. Within two years after his father's death Elam was to pay $15,000 to the estate. K. E. Huddleston died testate in October, 1952, at the age of 94. Several children and grandchildren survived him. Kay and El Huddleston qualified as executors of their father's estate. In order to settle the estate they advertised all of the personal and real property to be sold on December 2d. The sale was had. On December 3d, Elam Huddleston lodged for record in the office of the Clerk of Clinton County the 1936 deed. This litigation was initiated by the executors against Elam Huddleston and his sister, Roxie Perkins, to have quieted their title to two of the tracts of land covered by the 1936 deed. Elam set up his claim to the land by virtue of his deed. Roxie Perkins disclaimed any interest in the two tracts. It developed on the trial that a tract of land (presumably the third tract covered in the 1936 deed) had been conveyed to her by her father in 1951. The executors filed a reply admitting the execution of the deed in 1936. They asserted, however, that the deed had been orally rescinded and revoked by Elam and his father in 1938, and also that Elam was estopped from claiming title under the deed by virtue of his acts and conduct prior to the institution of this action.
