Syllabus

<p>Separate Property—Gift from Husband to Wife.-—Where property purchased with community funds is conveyed to the wife by direction of the husband, and with the intent that it shall become separate property, that conveyance will operate as a gift from him to her.</p> <p>Separate Property.—Where a Complaint Alleges the Making of Deeds to certain property in the wife’s name, and that the property was paid for with community funds, and is community property, and the answer admits the making of the deeds, but alleges that the property was paid for with the wife’s separate funds, and is her separate and individual property, there is no reversible error in a finding that the deeds were so executed by the instruction of the husband, for the purpose of vesting title in the wife, as her separate and individual property, and not as belonging to the community.</p> <p>Community Property.—In an Action by a Husband to have Set Aside Conveyances of certain realty to his wife, and to have the property declared community property, the complaint also alleging desertion of him by the defendant, judgment will not be reversed for want of a finding on that particular issue, the court having found that the property was the wife’s separate estate.</p>
