Zara Lackman v. Samantha Hunt McAnulty

Summary

The court held that the statute governing instruments conveying property to a grantee as trustee did not apply because the case involved no subsequent conveyance to a third party. The decedent's recorded quitclaim deed therefore transferred the property into the trust, leaving no individual interest for him to devise by will; the devise consequently adeemed. The court affirmed summary judgment for the defendants and dismissed the cross appeal.
