Myrtle Mae Chandler v. R. C. Welborn

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that creditors of a decedent may sue to set aside a deed executed by the decedent while insane when the estate lacks other nonexempt assets, the property would satisfy creditor claims, and the heirs or personal representative are adverse. The Court also affirmed that creditors have standing, that Arts. 3996‑3997 do not preempt such suits, and that the Dead Man's Statute is not waived by cross‑examination.
