Anderson v. Johnson

I concur in the result. Plaintiffs’ claim is neither a lien nor a charge on the homestead. It- is a mere debt, which can become a lien only by the recovery and docketing of a judgment or by attachment. We so held in In re Estate of Peterson, 198 Minn. 45, 268 N. W. 707, where we construed the new probate code, L. 1935, c. 72, 3 Mason Minn. St. 1940 Supp. § 8992-1, et seq. That case merely follows the rule of our prior decisions in such cases as H. E. Westerman Lbr. Co. v. Raschke, 167 Minn. 243, 208 N. W. 960; Hasey v. McMullen, 109 Minn. 332, 123 N. W. 1078; Nickerson v. Crawford, 74 Minn.…
