Syllabus

<p>Trusts — -Resulting Trust — Gift—Advancement—Evidence—Surjtciency. It appears that property purchased by a parent in the name of her daughter, with whom she lived, was intended as a gift or advancement to the daughter, without any trust, except during the lifetime of the owner, where it appears that after her daughter’s death, she procured her daughter’s husband to execute a quitclaim deed to her daughter’s daughter, and was satisfied, although he inserted a condition in the deed not desired by her.</p> <p>Same — Presumptions. The purchase of property by a parent in the name of a child raises a presumption of a gift, and rebuts the presumption of a resulting trust.</p>
