New York Court of Appeals

Addison Stearns, as Executor v. Lorenzo D. Gage, Impleaded

December 2, 187979 N.Y. 102

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower court, holding that a purchaser who gives valuable consideration is not liable for constructive notice of a grantor's fraudulent intent; actual notice is required to impair title, and therefore the deed to Lorenzo D. Gage is not void.
