Deepwater Black Creek Coal Co. v. Long

“Dower attaches upon marriage to every estate of inheritance of which the husband is seised during coverture. It is inchoate until death. Neither the husband nor his creditor can deprive her of this • right against her consent.” Sanders v. Wallace, 114 Ala. 259, 21 So. 947, 948.

A sale of the land under execution issued against the husband did not deprive complainant of her dower rights. Our authorities are uniform to this effect. Sanders v. Wallace, supra; Callahan v. Nelson, 128 Ala. 671, 29 So. 555; Yarbrough v. Yarbrough, 200 Ala. 184, 75 So. 932; Sanders v. Wallace, 118 Ala. 418, 24 So.…
