<p>1. TSstate: Distribution of. Deedby minor. Statute of limitations. Estoppel..</p> <p>An infant who makes a deed conveying realty has until such time as will complete the bar of the statute of limitations, after maturity, to disaffirm the deed, and bare recognition or silent acquiescence will not be regarded as a •confirmation of the sale unless prolonged for the period required to bar him, and he will not be estopped. The rule between legatees, in the distribution •of an estate, is that one who has not been paid cannot make those who have been paid refund, if the assets were originally sufficient to pay, unless the ■executor is insolvent; and the same principle applies to the distribution of an •estate among heirs under like circumstances.</p>
