"Fletcher v. Josephs." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "Smith, J.\nOn the 18th day of April, 1903, the appellants, Wm. Fletcher and others, sole heirs at law of James Fletcher, deceased, filed their complaint in the Lawrence Circuit Court against A. W. Shirey, claiming to be the owner of east one-half southwest quarter section 22, township 17 north, range 1 east, Lawrence County, Ark. The cause was transferred to the equity side by consent of all parties, and the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, the substance of which is as follows: That on the 14th day of December, 1872, James Fletcher died seized and possessed of the above-described land, which was his homestead, leaving him surviving Harriet Fletcher, his widow, and the plaintiffs, who were his children and grandchildren.\nThe complaint further alleged that, on the death of . said Fletcher, one A. B. Israel was appointed administrator of his estate on the 30th day of January, 1873, and that he applied to the probate court of said county for an order to sell said lands for the payment of debts, and that the land was ordered sold by the court, and in pursuance of said order, the administrator sold the land on December 6, 1873, to A. W. Shirey, and on the 9th day of December, 1873. executed to him a deed therefor.\nThe administrator made no report of this sale, and it was never approved or confirmed. Plaintiffs further alleged that the defendant knew he had acquired no title, and failed to have the sale confirmed, because he knew the court had no right to confirm it, but took the deed to have some color of title, and conceived the plan of defrauding plaintiffs of their rights, and, in pursuit of said plan to defraud, he purchased from the said Harriet Fletcher her right of dower and homestead in said land, her dower then not having been assigned, and at the same time advised her, and induced her to believe, that the rights of her children would be fully protected by him, and that at her death said land would go to them, and that he was only endeavoring to buy her life interest therein; and, relying upon said assurances so made by defendant, she conveyed to him on January 22, 1874, all her right of dower therein. And the complaint further alleged that, desiring to conceal the effect of the conveyance of the said Harriet Fletcher, the defendant withheld said deed from record.\nThe complaint further alleged that some of the plaintiffs were present when the trade was made and heard the assurances given their mother that the defendant desired to buy only her life interest, and that as soon as she died the land would become the property of her children, and that the only effect of the deed he desired was to enable him to have the use of the land and its rents until the death of their mother; and that all this occurred before the deed was executed, and until recently plaintiffs understood defendant was claiming only the life estate of their mother, and that only by reason of the fraudulent assurances of defendant have they allowed' bim to occupy said land through all of these years, without making any claim therefor, or asserting their rights.\nThe answer of the defendant Shirey specifically denied the allegations of the complaint and set up adverse possession for seven years, and for more than three years after all minor heirs had attained their majority.\nBefore the final hearing, the death of defendant A. W. Shirey was suggested and proved, and the cause revived in the name of Louis Josephs, his executor.\nAt the final hearing, a copy of the petition of the administrator to the probate court was offered in evidence, showing the personal property was exhausted and praying a sale of the lands to pay debts. There was also offered in evidence the order of the court directing the sale of the land, which order was made on October 3, 1873. There was also offered the petition of the widow, filed on the 17th day of November, 1873, praying that the land be set aside to her as a homestead and the order of the court, made on the same day, granting the prayer of that petition. The certificate of the county clerk was also offered, showing there had been no report of said administrator\u2019s sale and no confirmation thereof.\nThe deed from the administrator to Shirey was not recorded until the 8th day of February, 1878.\nThe deed from Harriet Fletcher was made on the 22d day of January, 1874, and the material portion of the same is as follows: \u201cI, Harriet Fletcher, do hereby relinquish all of my right of and title to dower to the following land, towit: east one-half, southwest quarter, section 22, township 17north,' range 1 east, for the consideration of the sum of $400, paid to me by Arthur W. Shirey, and he is to have and to hold the same forever, and I do hereby warrant and defend the same to him and his heirs forever against the lawful claim of all persons.\u201d\nFor proof of the allegations of misrepresentation and fraud, the plaintiffs relied principally upon the evidence of two of the sons, who testified they heard the conversation between Shirey and their mother. One of these witnesses was eleven or twelve years old at the time, and the other was eight or nine. Another witness testified that at the time he was between seventeen and eighteen years old, and that he overheard a conversation between Mr. Shirey. and a Mr. Henry, for whom witness was picking cotton, in which Shirey said: \u201cI just bought the old lady\u2019s lifetime dower.\u201d A daughter of Harriet Fletcher, who was older than her brothers, also testified and substantially corroborated their statement.\nThe defendant denied all the material statements of the plaintiff, and the chancellor accepted his version of the transaction as the truth, and, after careful consideration of the evidence, we can not say that his finding is contrary to the preponderance of the evidence.\nShirey stated that this was his first land transaction, although he afterwards became a large land owner. He stated that he bought the land at a public sale, as he was the highest bidder; that he did not look to see that the sale to him was reported and confirmed for the reason that he did not know this was necessary, and that he supposed it was only necessary for him to pay his money and get his deed; and that he did this, and that the $600 which he paid the administrator for the land was a fair price for the land at the time it was sold, under the circumstances. He supposed he had a perfectly good title to that land, subject to the widow\u2019s dower, and he procured the deed from her to get possession of the land, and he had occupied it for nearly thirty years without suspecting that any one questioned his title. Mrs. Fletcher died January 20, 1902.\nWe are of opinion that, although the administrator\u2019s sale for the payment of debts was void for want of jurisdiction in the court to order the same, and although no confirmation of the sale seems to have been made, yet the administrator\u2019s deed is such an \"appearance of title\u201d as to constitute color of title. White v. Stokes, 67 Ark. 184, and cases cited; 1 Cyc. 1093; 2 Ene. L. & P. 513; 2 Words & Phrases, 1264.\nIt is urged with great force that the language of Shirey to the widow amounted to such fraudulent misrepresentation as would prevent the running of the statute, but we do not think the evidence sufficient for this purpose, and we concur in the chancellor\u2019s finding that, \u201cduring the many years that have elapsed since the alleged conversation, these plaintiffs, all of whom have grown to manhood or womanhood long ago, should have made some further investigation as to the rights claimed by Shirey, who during all the time was openly in possession of the land under a recorded deed from the administrator of their father\u2019s estate. No claim of fraud could be based upon the failure to record the widow\u2019s deed, because all admit that they knew of that deed at the time it was made.\u201d\nBut appellants insist here that Shirey\u2019s possession could not be adverse for the reason that the deed of the widow put him in possession of the whole tract, and that this deed gave him that right of occupancy which in equity he was entitled to have under Mrs. Fletcher\u2019s deed, and that such possession would not ripen into title because he was a tenant in common with the heirs.\nThe fallacy of this argument grows out of a misconception of the effect of the deed from the widow to Shirey. Many cases have held that the widow\u2019s rights in the homestead are personal and can not be transferred, and that by conveying the homestead to another she will be held to have abandoned her rights therein, and the homestead thereupon becomes vested in the minor children. Gatlin v. Lafon, 95 Ark. 256, and case there cited.\nIt was held in the case of Griffin v. Dunn, 79 Ark. 412, that the widow\u2019s right to hold the dwelling house and the farm attached until dower shall be assigned is a personal privilege, and not an estate in the land which can be transferred to another. She may rent out the farm and receive the rents and profits, but can not convey it or transfer her rights. If she does, she thereby abandons it, and the right of entry of the heirs becomes complete, subject only to the right to have dower assigned. The same case holds, upon the authority of the case of Weaver v. Rush, 62 Ark. 57, that the conveyance by the widow carried with it an equitable transfer to the grantee of her unassigned dower right, but this outstanding right to have dower assigned did not postpone the heir\u2019s right of entry.\n\u201cA widow\u2019s dower in the realty of her deceased husband, before it is assigned to her as the statute directs, is a mere 'thing in action\u2019 that can not be the subject of a conveyance by her to a stranger, so as to confer on him any rights that he can enforce in a court of law.\u201d Weaver v. Rush, supra.\nShirey\u2019s possession, both in fact and in law, was adverse to the heirs, and the cause of action here sued upon was barred many years before the suit was instituted. Carnall v. Wilson, 21 Ark. 62; Padgett v. Norman, 44 Ark. 490; Barnett v. Mecham, 62 Ark. 313; Garibaldi v. Jones, 48 Ark. 230; Killeam v. Carter, 65 Ark. 68; McAndrews v. Hollingsworth, 72 Ark. 446; Griffin v.

The land was the homestead of James Fletcher and, after the order of sale, but before the sale, was set apart to the widow as a homestead. The sale by the administrator, and the deed executed by him to Shirey three days later, conveyed no title to Shirey, because (1) it had been set apart as a homestead. 79 Ark. 410; 56 Ark. 563; 50 Ark. 329; 49 Ark. 75; 47 Ark. 445; (2) The sale was incomplete for lack of confirmation, and the deed could convey no interest. 34 Ark. 346; 38 Ark. 80; 47 Ark. 419; 48 Ark. 250; 55 Ark. 307; Such a deed is no evidence of title. 47 Ark. 215. Neither is it color of title. 67 Ala. 441; 15 111. 178.\n2. Shirey did not attempt, however, to go into possession under the administrator\u2019s deed, but admits that he knew that Mrs. Fletcher\u2019s dower right was outstanding, and that he bought it in order to get her off the land and himself go into possession. At that time, her dower not having been assigned, she had no interest that she could convey to a stranger. She only had a mere right of occupancy of the mansion house and farm attached thereto until her dower should be assigned, which was personal to her. 62 Ark. 61; Kirby\u2019s Dig., \u00a7 7204; 44 Ark. 490; 48 Ark. 230. \u2022\n3. Mrs. Fletcher\u2019s deed did vest in Shirey an equitable title to an undivided portion of the land, a right to have her dower ascertained and set apart to him for his use during her lifetime. 79 Ark. 412; 62 Ark. 61. And, upon the execution and delivery of her deed, she forfeited her rights, the heirs became entitled to enter, they being seized in fee of an undi-\nvided two-thirds of the land, with remainder in fee of the remaining one-third after the termination of her life, and Shirey and the heirs from that time on were tenants in common of the whole tract. 2 Blackstone, Com. 191-192; 2 A. K. Mar. (Ky.) 388.\nThe fact that Shirey was put into possession and remained in possession of the entire tract until the widow's death did not destroy the tenancy. The possession of one tenant in common is the possession of all. 61 Ark. -540. His possession would not necessarily ripen into title. 99 Ark. 87; 3 Sharswood & Budd, Leading Cases, Real Prop. 128.\n4. Shirey\u2019s claim of title by adverse possession must be worked out through the rules governing adverse possession as against tenants in common. His proof must show something that evidences an intention to claim a greater right than that conveyed by the widow\u2019s deed, and in a way so notorious as to have brought home notice, actual or constructive, of such intent, to the heirs, equivalent to a re-entry and claim of the fee. 39 Wis. 538.\nPlacing the administrator\u2019s deed to Shirey on record did not have the effect of constructive notice to the heirs. The constructive notice of a recorded deed is notice only to those in the line of title of that deed.
