¶1One S. S. Austin having died intestate August 5, 1879, his property, consisting of 200 acres of land and some personal property, was divided by' his widow and heirs by mutual quitclaim deeds, whereby each received 50 acres in fee, except the widow, who took 50 acres for life. Each of the three heirs consequently had an undivided one-third interest in the reversion. On April 30, 1881, Nathaniel C. Austin, one of said heirs, executed and delivered to his brother, Harvey H. Austin, a deed of his 50 acres, in which deed the description of said 50 acres is followed by the following language, viz.:
“ Also all my right, title, and interest in and to my father’s estate at law, in S. S. Austin’s estate.”.
¶2The widow died in 1893, at which time Nathaniel was living upon the premises, and still remains there, claiming to own an undivided one-third. Complainant filed a bill for partition against his sister, Mary A. Dolbee, who demurred, upon the ground that Nathaniel was a necessary party; and Nathaniel was made . a party upon his own petition, alleging ownership of one-third of the premises, *294and praying partition. The case was heard upon pleadings and proofs* and a decree was made that said premises be partitioned equally among the three.
¶3Two questions are involved:
¶41. Thp sufficiency of the description to convey Nathaniel's share.
¶52. Fraud in causing it to be included in the deed when signed* or afterwards inserted.
¶6The "case was disposed of in the circuit court upon the first of these* the court holding that the description was inadequate to convey Nathaniel's interest. In this opinion we are unable to concur. The land was a part of the estate of S. S. Austin, which was susceptible of identification as such. It was conveyed by a warranty deed, duly signed* sealed* and acknowledged. It is not necessary that a conveyance shall specifically describe premises sought to be conveyed. It is sufficient if its terms are such as to permit them to be identified. Such descriptions are more common in wills than deeds, and are uniformly held good. Persinger v. Jubb, 52 Mich. 307; Rood v. Hovey, 50 Id. 399.
¶7It is said by counsel for defendants that—
•“There is an entire absence of references or other identifying circumstances, or, if it was intended to convey land by the clause in question, it leaves its identity wholly uncertain, and the grant is void."
¶8The deed describes the land as all of the grantor’s right, title, and interest in and to S. S. Austin's estate at law. There could be no great difficulty in ascertaining what S. S. Austin’s estate at law was. A number of authorities in point are cited in the brief for complainant, among them Devl. Deeds, § 1013; Jackson v. DeLancey, 11 Johns. 365; Brantly v. Kee, 5 Jones' Eq. 332; Nichols v. Johnson, 10 Conn. 192; Hurley v. Brown, 98 Mass. 545.
¶9The circuit judge, who saw the witnesses, expresses no *295opinion upon the question of fact, and we have not the benefit of his opinion. We are satisfied that the clause in dispute was contained in the deed when it was executed, and do not feel justified by the evidence produced in setting aside a deed duly executed and attested, upon the claim that it was not understood.
¶10The prayer of complainant's bill will be granted, with costs of both courts.
