Holmes v. Holmes
Opinion
lead Opinion
Shaw, J.
Plaintiff appeals from the judgment, in support of which she presents a bill of exceptions.
The action was brought by plaintiff to obtain a decree against defendant quieting her title to certain real estate consisting of three pieces of property, all situate in Los Angeles County and described, with our designation, as follows:
The defendant is the son of Francis W. Holmes, deceased, who in his lifetime was the husband of plaintiff. The latter’s claim to ownership of the property is based upon the alleged fact that it was all purchased with her separate funds. It conclusively appears that parcel 1 was acquired under a deed dated December 8, 1906, whereby the grantors conveyed the title thereto to plaintiff and her husband, Francis W. Holmes, who, as shown by deed dated January 4, 1909, conveyed his undivided one-half interest therein, to his son, the defendant herein. Upon this fact, and other evidence sufficient to justify the same, the court found, as alleged in the answer, that plaintiff and defendant were the owners of said parcel of land as tenants in common, each owning an undivided one-half interest therein.
