Thompson Et Al. v. Thompson Et Al‪.‬

On the 5th day of May, 1926, the appellant, Frank E. Thompson, Sr., executed a deed to his wife purporting to convey a piece of property on which was located a homestead. On January 21, 1951, Maude W. Thompson, wife of the appellant, died and left a purported will leaving a portion of the property involved in this suit to her son, Thomas Albert Thompson. The Probate Judge refused to probate the will until some determination in some judicial proceeding could be made concerning the status of the property and the effect of the aforementioned deed and will. A suit was filed in the Circuit Court alleging that the property was homestead property and that the deed and will were ineffectual to vest title in the property in the son Thomas Albert Thompson. This suit was dismissed by the Chancellor and this appeal is made from that order.
