Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court September 7, 1882 (Draper v. Buggee)

Field, J.

Whatever may be the law in regard to voluntary conveyances to others, a conveyance made on the meritorious consideration of blood or affection to a child, or as a settlement to a wife, is not per se fraudulent and void as to existing creditors. Whether it is so depends upon the circumstances of the case and the actual or presumed intent of the grantor. Winchester v.
