Mims v. Cooper
Supreme Court of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Jenkins, Chief Justice.
1. Ordinarily an absolute deed of conveyance will not, at the instance of the grantor, be canceled merely because of a breach by the grantee of a covenant to cafe for and support the grantor, made in consideration of such conveyance. Lindsey v. Lindsey, 62 Ga. 546; McCardle v. Kennedy, 92 Ga. 198 (17 S. E. 1001, 44 Am. St. R. 85); Thompson v. Lanfair, 127 Ga. 557 (56 S. E. 770). An exception to this general rule exists in cases where the grantee is insolvent. Burkhalter v. DeLoach, 171 Ga. 384 (155 S. E. 513); Cain v. Varnadore, 171 Ga. 497 (156 S. E. 216). See also…
