Lankford v. Pope
Supreme Court of Georgia
Decided January 11, 1950No. 16917PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Head, Justice.
The estoppel asserted by allegations of the petition, based on a conversation between W. C. Lankford and the common grantor, B. Peterson, is without merit. If, at the time of the conversation, Peterson had parted with title to the lands to Ava Rilla Sapp, his declarations or statements would not enlarge the title conveyed. On the other hand, if the deed was void for uncertainty, and if B. Peterson was still the owner of the land, the statements of Peterson would be insufficient to convey title. Rogers v. Manning, 203 Ga. 771 (48 S. E. 2d, 527).
