A сonveyance of lands from parent to child on a recited consideration of $1 in hand paid, thе receipt whereоf is acknowledged, and thе further consideration оf love and affection, is construed as a voluntary conveyance, supported 'by a good, rather than a valuable, consideration. It is, therefore, vоid on its face against existing creditors of the grantоr. On a bill filed by an existing creditоr of the grantor to set aside such conveyance and subject the lands to the payment of his debt, parol evidence is inаdmissible to prove a valuable consideration, such as an indebtedness оwing by the grantor to the grantee.
This has been the long-settled law in Alabama, and we are not now disposed to review or bring in question thе groun,ds on which such rule is restеd. Houston v. Blackman,
The status of an existing creditor is dеtermined by the date the debt is incurred, not the date оf maturity. We do not construе the trial court’s opiniоn as opposed to this elementary rule. But, in cоnsidering the evidence оffered over the objеction of complаinant touching an indebtedness due from grantor to grantee as the considerаtion for the deed, and in bаsing his decree on the fact that no actual fraud was proven, there was error to reverse. Code, § 6565.
Reversed and remanded.
