• 46 Fla. 510

Syllabus

<p>Since the adoption of the Revised Statutes of 1892 a bill in equity can not be maintained against an executor alone to cancel and annul a deed conveying real estate to his testator in his lifetime and other conveyances constituting links in the chain of title, where the will does not vest the title to such real estate in the executor, and no order of a competent court directing the executor to take possession thereof has been made. In such cases the heirs at law or devisees are indispensable parties, and a decree granting relief against the executor to which the heirs or devisees are not parties will be reversed by the appellate court.</p>
