Syllabus

<p>PRESCRIPTION — CONVEYANCE BY WIDOW — COMMUNITY PROPERTY.</p> <p>A widow in community, holding either no title at all to her husband’s half of a piece of community property, or at best a testamentary usufruct in the same, sold the property in its entirety to a third person, who at once took possession of it. Prescription acquirendi causa immediately commenced running in his favor. The fact that there stood registered at the date of the sale a conveyance of the property by her husband’s heir to a third person did not per se prevent the running of prescription.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
