Lufkin v. Curtis

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Decided May 15, 1816PublishedCited by 21 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

The mortgage deed relied on by the tenant is

wholly insufficient to bar the demandant of her claim of dower. It contains no release of her right, nor any declaration for what reason she executed it. To have been valid for the purpose contended for by the tenant, it should have contained words importing a release of «ier claim of dower; which has been recognized as sufficient.

Tenant defaulted.
