Syllabus

<p>Equity — Cancellation of deed — Fraud and undue influence.</p> <p>A bill in equity praying that a deed executed by a mother to her son be declared null and void on the ground that at the time it was executed the grantor was in her eighty-second year, of failing memory, and weak in body and mind, and that the grantee had procured the execution of the instrument by fraud and undue influence, is properly dismissed where there is a finding based on competent evidence that the grantor at the time she executed the deed had sufficient mental capacity to understand what she did, and that the grantee had exercised no undue influence over her in inducing her to execute and deliver the instrument to him.</p>
