237 N.W. 534 | Mich. | 1931
Plaintiff has a judgment against Isaac Rosenthal. Execution levy was made on property conveyed by Rosenthal and wife to defendant Fanny Freedman. Plaintiff filed bill in aid of execution to set aside the Freedman deed as in fraud of creditors. The bill also alleged that Rosenthal and wife owned several pieces of property as tenants by the entireties, that Rosenthal is entitled to the rents and profits therefrom, and prayed that a receiver be appointed to collect such rents and profits and apply them on the judgment. Motion was made for appointment of a receiver pending suit to collect rents from all the property described. The court denied the motion without stating reasons therefor. *159
The record does not show that defendant Freedman was served either with process or with notice of the motion, and the bill contains no allegations of the necessity for a receivership as against her. The motion as to her was properly denied.
In Dickey v. Converse,
"While the wife has such an interest in these crops that they cannot be taken on an execution against her husband, such interest does not interfere with his power of management, disposition, and control."
The courts in other States treat the tenancy and rights arising out of it in a variety of ways. Under the decisions of this court, the rents and profits of entirety property are not subject to levy by the husband's *160 creditors, except in special instances provided by statute.
Affirmed, with costs.
BUTZEL, C.J., and WIEST, CLARK, McDONALD, POTTER, SHARPE, and NORTH, JJ., concurred.
