Whitis v. Whitis

OPINION

McDONALD, Chief Justice.

This is an appeal by appellants from declaratory judgment that certain real estate (a house and lot in Sherman, Grayson County) is the sole and separate property of appellee.

Appellee Mary P. Whitis, surviving wife of William J. Whitis, deceased, sought declaratory judgment that a house and lot in Sherman was her sole and separate property, and that appellants, children of her deceased husband by prior marriage, had no interest in such property.

Trial before the court resulted in judgment decreeing appellee sole and separate owner of the property.

It is undisputed…
