1. ““The simple answer to that contention is that respondent’s suit is not a ‘claim.’ Claims are ‘liabilities of the decedent which survive ... ’ Section 472.010 RSMo 1969, V.A.M.S. Respondent’s suit is not founded upon any liability of the decedent. It seeks only to have determined whether the land involved belongs to respondent or the estate. Having found delivery of the deed in 1940 respondent was at that time vested with the remainder interest in the real estate to become effective upon grantor’s death. Grantor’s life estate in the property terminated upon her death. The real estate involved was not an asset of decedent at the [time] of her death, nor an asset of the estate.””
