New York Court of Appeals
Thomas J. Chamberlain, as Executors v. Hascal L. Taylor, Respondents
April 19, 1887105 N.Y. 185
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower court, holding that the executors of Benjamin Chamberlain's will never obtained title to the disputed land because the will did not create a valid trust vesting title, nor did it effect an equitable conversion. Consequently, the deed to Freeman was void and could not support an ejectment action under the statute.
