Mississippi Supreme Court March 25, 1957, 40443 (Myers v. LAIRD)

*678

Ethridge, J.

This case involves questions of whether there was a valid delivery of a deed in escrow to a depositary, and whether a surviving husband’s separate estate is equal in value to a one-half portion of his deceased wife’s estate, so that he cannot renounce her will, which made no provision for him. Both of these inquiries are answered in the affirmative.

Mrs. Fannie B.
