ESTATES-TENANCY BY ENTIRETIES--ABILITY OF JUDGMENT CREDITOR TO REACH TENANT'S INTEREST

Authors

Abstract

Shortly after the plaintiff's judgment had been docketted and a fruitless attempt made to have it satisfied, the defendant and his wife became devisees of some land, holding it as tenants by entireties. Knowing his wife to be in poor health and fearing he might survive her, the defendant persuaded her to join in a conveyance to their granddaughter for only a nominal consideration. Both women were unaware of the defendant's real motive, but the defendant himself understood the effect of what he was doing and was anxious to place the land beyond the plaintiff's reach. Held, that the judgment was not a lien on land held by entireties and that, therefore, the conveyance was not in fraud of the plaintiff. Winchester-Simmons Co. v. Cutler (N. C. 1930) 155 S.E. 611.
