Samuel v. Mallory

This appeal involves the question of whether a trial judge abused his discretion in setting aside a court-ordered sale of real estate because of inadequacy of the price.

Servilla Mallory and Willie Daniel Drakeford, sister and brother, petitioned the Circuit Court of Conecuh County to sell real estate situated in Conecuh County for the purpose of division and distribution of the proceeds. The Honorable Robert E.L. Key, Circuit Judge of Conecuh County, ordered an appraisal of the real estate, and the results of the appraisal were returned to the court showing the property to be worth $23,650.00.
