Harvey v. Ledbetter

This is a suit filed on behalf of the appellee, Clifford Paul Ledbetter, a minor, seeking, inter alia, to redeem from tax sale a tract of 2 1/2 acres, hereinafter called ""the property."" From a decree of the Chancery Court allowing the minor to redeem, appellants bring this appeal in which they claim, inter alia, that the minor had no title on which to base a redemption. In 1925 the Twin City Bank conveyed the property to C. W. Letbetter and Flora B. Letbetter, his wife. In December, 1932, C. W. Letbetter and Flora B. Letbetter executed, acknowledged and delivered a deed of the property to their son, J. Clifford Ledbetter. 1 Appellants claim that J. Clifford Ledbetter and Lois Ledbetter, his wife, contemporaneously executed and delivered an undated and unacknowledged deed of reconveyance of the same property to C. W. Letbetter and Flora B. Letbetter, his wife. Appellees deny the execution, as well as the delivery, of the said deed of reconveyance; and - as we see it - the decision in this case turns on the fact question, whether such deed of reconveyance was actually executed and delivered.
