Syllabus

<p>Tenants in common — Mother and daughter — Administrator’s sale — Estoppel.</p> <p>Where an intestate leaves to survive him a widow and daughter, and his lands are sold at an administrator’s sale for the payment of his debts; and the widow buys them at the sale, the daughter cannot after her mother’s death claim an interest in the land against her mother’s will, (as the heir at law of her father), where it appears that the daughter saw her mother purchase the property and pay the purchase money; that she acquiesced in her mother’s ownership of it for ten years, until her mother’s death; that she accepted an annuity derived from the property under her mother’s will for a period of ten years; and that she never offered to reimburse her mother for money paid by the latter on the purchase of the property, and never offered to return to her mother’s estate the annuity which she had received for ten years.</p>
