George G. Williams, as Executors v. Katharine Van Wyck Haddock, an Infant, Impleaded…

Summary

The Court affirmed that an equitable conversion of the brewery land into personalty occurred at the execution of the sale contract and persisted because there was no default by the purchasers. The executors, having acted in good faith and lawfully extended the performance deadline before any default, were entitled to the sale proceeds as personal property for the next of kin, excluding heirs at law.
