Griffith v. Douglas
120 Ga. 582 | Ga. | 1904
1. An instrument in all respects in the form of a warranty deed, attested as a deed, and delivered to the party named as grantee, although it contains the words “that this deed is not to go into effect until after the death of the party of the first part, hut at the death of said party of the first part the party of the second part is to take possession,” should be treated, not as a will, hut as a conveyance passing title in presentí, with right of possession postponed until the death of the grantor. West v. Wright, 115 Ga. 2,77; Brice v. Sheffield, 118 Ga. 128, and cit.; Watkins v. Nugen, 118 Ga. 372.
