195 So. 716 | Ala. | 1940
Lead Opinion
The suit was to set aside fraudulent conveyances.
The errors assigned challenge the overruling of demurrers to the bill on the ground that the property voluntarily conveyed is not alleged to have been substantially all of the property owned by D. M. Beck at the time of the conveyance.
A bill to set aside a fraudulent conveyance is not demurrable for failure to aver want of assets still owned by grantor sufficient to meet creditor's demands, or that the grantor is insolvent. Whaley v. First National Bank of Opp,
When the suit is by a creditor to set aside a voluntary conveyance made more than four months before a petition in bankruptcy, the court in which the proceeding is pending challenging the fraudulent conveyance is not required to stay proceedings. Connell v. Walker,
Where creditors' bill to set aside fraudulent conveyances and the proof introduced shows that the debt antedated the conveyances attacked as fraudulent, the burden is shifted to the grantees to sustain by averment and proof the bona fides of such conveyances. Smith v. M. C. McAdams,
We find no reversible error in the action of the trial court and the decree is affirmed.
Affirmed.
ANDERSON, C. J., and BROWN and KNIGHT, JJ., concur.
Addendum
Application for rehearing overruled.
THOMAS, BROWN, FOSTER, and LIVINGSTON, JJ., concur.
