Syllabus

<p>Decedents’ estates — Decedents’ debts — Lien on real estate — Act of June 11/., 1901, P. L. 562 — Husband and wife — Promissory note —Conveyance in fraud of creditors.</p> <p>Where a husband gives his wife a promissory note payable at his death, and after the death of his wife conveys all of his real estate to his son in consideration of the latter supporting him for life, the executor of the wife cannot after the death of the husband maintain a bill in equity to declare the deed to the son fraudulent and void as to the wife’s estate and for a decree that the property conveyed by the deed should be liable for the note, where it appears that the lien of the debt represented by the note had not been continued as required by the Act of June 14, 1901, P. L. 562, and that the decree if entered would be of a date more than two years after the death of the decedent; and this is true, even if the conveyance to the son had been in fraud of the wife’s estate.</p>
