George M. Kelley v. Perry F. Wheyland

This is an action to set aside and cancel two deeds and a bill of sale on the ground that they were made by an incompetent
grantor and were obtained by fraud and undue influence. Plaintiff-appellant Kelley is the grandson and defendant-respondent Perry Wheyland is the son of the deceased grantor Jessie
A. Wheyland. The instruments which are the subject of this action conveyed substantially all of the real and personal property
of the grantor to her son. The conveyances were admittedly without consideration and were made in 1966 when the grantor, then
a widow, was 85 years of age. She thereafter died intestate in 1968. If she had died possessed of any estate the appellant
and respondent under the statutes governing succession would each be entitled to receive one-half of her estate.
