Simpson v. Leech

Citations

  • 86 Ill. 286

Syllabus

<p>1. Dower—partnership real estate. A widow has no dower in partnership real estate until all partnership debts have been paid and until all accounts between the copartners have been adjusted, and any mode of sale that passes the title to the property for that purpose will bar her claim to dower.</p> <p>2. Partmership—partners’ interest in real estate. The true and actual interest of each partner in the partnership stock is the balance found due him after the payment of all partnership debts and the adjustment of the partnership accounts, and real estate forms no exception, but stands upon the same footing as personalty, no matter in whom the legal title may be vested.</p>
