W. Va. Code § 36-3-6

Necessity of consideration in deed of real property

Applied in 1 court decision — leading case 183 W. Va. 356 - Gilliland v. Carpenter (1990)

Most recently applied in 183 W. Va. 356 - Gilliland v. Carpenter (July 1990)

If a deed of real property is in other respects valid, it shall not fail for want of a payment of consideration, or the recital of a consideration in the deed. No resulting or other trust in favor of the grantor in such deed shall arise from the mere fact that no consideration was paid or recited, if no trust was in fact intended. The foregoing provisions of this section shall not affect in any manner the right of any party to the deed, or any other person, to have such conveyance set aside for fraud, or because of any other circumstance which would render such conveyance invalid as to such person.
