Benjamin F. Young v. John Heermans, Appellants

Summary

The Court held that the conveyances of John Fellows to John Heermans, made without consideration and in trust for Fellows’ own benefit, were fraudulent and void as against existing creditors, and that the judgment could not constitute a lien on the real estate because the heirs were not parties. Accordingly, the portion of the lower court’s judgment declaring no lien on the land was reversed, while the orders voiding the personal‑property conveyance and appointing a receiver were affirmed. The Court also explained that it lacks jurisdiction to determine title rights against heirs absent their participation.
