Ritchie v. Davis
Wisconsin Supreme Court
1Opinion of the CourtCurrie, C. J.
Appellants’ brief states that the sole issue on this appeal is whether the June 7, 1955, deed from Davis to the two Cotters and to Ritchie constituted an irrevocable conveyance or an attempted testamentary disposition. It is appellants’ contention that the delivery to Cotter was as agent for Davis, was revocable, and, therefore, was an ineffective testamentary disposition. The trial .court, however, found it was Davis’ intent at the time of delivery of the deed to Cotter that title then pass to the grantees.
