Pantone v. Pantone
Pantone Et Al. v. Pantone
Opinion of the Court
Atkinson, Justice.
Where a promise was made by a grantee as an inducement or consideration for the execution of a warranty deed by the grantors, by which promise he agreed to maintain the home place con *348 veyed, keep up repairs, pay taxes, and not get married, but keep it as a home which the grantors could use as they had done during their mother’s lifetime, and where approximately seven years later the grantee married, moved his wife into the home, and claimed it as his individual property, evidence showing a mere failure to comply with his promise was insufficient to establish an inceptive fraudulent intent; and there being no other evidence showing that at the time the agreement was made it was done with intent to defraud, the trial judge did not err in granting a nonsuit.
