New York Court of Appeals

John Rosseau, as Administrator v. Jennie Bleau, Appellants

February 12, 1892131 N.Y. 177

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the judgment that had set aside a deed as fraudulent, holding that an administrator lacks standing to attack a deed delivered after the decedent's death because the creditor's statutory lien attaches at death and is not impaired, and that the attorney's testimony was not privileged. A new trial was ordered with costs.
