Syllabus

<p>Deed — Essentials of a deed — Changing course of descent — Intestate laws.</p> <p>Collateral heirs of a decedent do not divest their title to real estate of which their decedent died seized, intestate and without issue, by the execution of a paper during the lifetime of the decedent which released under certain contingencies, their interest in the decedent’s estate, but which contained neither grantee, description of real estate, nor words of inheritance. Such a writing is wanting in the requisites of either a deed or a release.</p>
