Michigan Supreme Court

Decided September 13, 1900

Bill by James Nolan, Jr., and John Nolan against James Nolan, Sr., to remove a cloud from title. From a decree dismissing the bill, complainants appeal.

Affirmed · Decided 1900-09-13

Hooker, J.

¶1The defendant occupies lands which he claims to own by virtue of a quitclaim deed from his deceased wife, dated in 1875, a week after she had executed a life lease of the premises to him. The deed was not recorded until 1898, and is alleged to be a forgery by the complainants, sons of defendant, who file this bill to remove the cloud from their alleged title.

¶2The question before us is one of fact merely, and we are not satisfied that the learned circuit judge erred in his conclusions. The decree must therefore be affirmed, with costs.

The other Justices concurred.
