Syllabus

<p>Quieting Title. Plaintiff’s title.</p> <p>Where a grantor by deed conveyed land to his children, share and share alike for life, and at their death the land to go to their children, and partition by suit was had and thereafter M. and T., children of the grantor, made an exchange with plaintiff’s mother, also a child of the grantor, of lands alloted to them respectively in the partition suit, and plaintiff’s mother, before her death, executed a deed of trust on the lands so received in exchange, which was foreclosed and brought in by defendant. In such case plaintiffs, prior to the death of M. and T., could not sue to cancel defendant’s deeds as a cloud upon their title, since the deed of exchange by M. and T. to plaintiff’s mother conveyed their life estate to plaintiff’s mother for their lives and not hers and they not being dead their life estate has not expired but inures to the benefit of defendant..</p>
