Syllabus

<p>Homestead—Bight Does Hot Attach to a Bemainderman, When.</p> <p>A married son continued to live with his parents on their homestead, but which they had conveyed to him by a deed reserving to themselves the entire possession during their lives. The father died, and then the son died before the death of the mother, who continued her homestead occupancy of the land, the son's family continuing to live there and pay her rent, until her death, offer which there was an action to partition the land between the son’s widow and children. Held that, as no homestead interest had attached in the son prior to his death, his widow was not entitled to such an interest in that land, but was properly decreed a homestead interest in an adjoining parcel of land, which had also formed part of the homestead of the parents and which they had conveyed to the son, her husband, by a different deed containing no reservation.</p>
