Syllabus

<p>1. Bona-fide purchaser under a forged will.—A purchaser in good faith of land from a legatee, under a will duly admitted to probate, is not affected by proceedings subsequently instituted and resulting in annulling the will as a forgery.</p> <p>2. Same—Forged wile differs from forged deed.—To the proceedings admitting the will to probate all are parties to the extent that they must take notice and are bound by it until set aside. Hence a holder under a forged will duly probated differs from a holder under a forged deed, and may hold unaffected by the subsequent attacks upon the validity of the will.</p>
