Olivera V. Grace

GIBSON, C.J. The plaintiff brought this action as administratrix of the estate of Emilie Rust,  deceased, to set aside a judgment rendered against Emilie Rust prior to her death. The judgment was in favor of defendant as administratrix of the estate of Hattie Haas in an action to reform a deed in which Hattie Haas and Emilie Rust were named as joint tenants. The plaintiff, Marguerite Olivera, and Hattie Haas were daughters of Emilie Rust, and the defendant, Rosaline Grace, is the daughter of Hattie Haas. After the death of Hattie Haas on April 23, 1936, the defendant obtained a default judgment against Emilie Rust which reformed the joint tenancy deed so as to provide for the conveyance of the fee to Hattie Haas and the conveyance of a life estate only to Emilie Rust.
