William Scholle, Respondent v. Jacob Scholle, J. Romaine Brown, Purchaser, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's order releasing the purchaser from his obligation to complete the purchase because the title he was to receive was defective. The Court held that the deed conveying the entire interest was void for uncertainty and subject to reformation, that no equitable conversion occurred so the grandchildren retained vested interests in the land, and that the executrix's deed was not a valid exercise of the power of sale.
