McGovern v. Morin

This is a bill in equity brought in the name of the executor of the will of Hanora J. Cooper to recover from respondent Morin certain bonds delivered to him by the testatrix. Respondent Morin contended that she gave the bonds to him as a gift inter vivos. After hearing in the Superior Court on bill, answer and proof, a decree was entered dismissing the bill and declaring that the bonds were the property of Morin and that he acquired title thereto by reason of a valid gift inter vivos made to him by the testatrix in her lifetime. The cause is here on complainant’s appeal from said decree.
