T. L. Smith, Mrs. Henry Burnett, a Widow, E. B. Smith, Owen Smith and Luther Smith, Appellants v. W. T. Owens, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the lower court's decree dismissing the bill as to the deed, holding that delivery of the deed to W. T. Owens was effective under the circumstances. The Court reasoned that the grantor's instructions to his housekeeper manifested an intent to relinquish control, satisfying the legal test for delivery.
