1. ““ * * * In Scott v. Scott, 131 Okl. 144 , 268 P. 245, 247 , it is stated: ‘The test of capacity to make a deed is that the grantor should have the ability to understand the nature and effect of the act in which he is engaged, and the business he is transacting. He may be old; he may be enfeebled by disease; he may be erratic, irritable, and changeable in his views; he even may be irrational upon some topics, but, in the absence of fraud, he may still execute a valid deed.’ ””
