Henkle v. Henkle

Clarriette Henkle (plaintiff) gave her farm to her grandson John as a gift, intending John to later convey home sites to his brothers so the farm would stay in the family; John did not do so, though the plaintiff did not object once the brothers said they didn't want the property. John later died intestate, survived by his wife Annette and son Jacob (defendants). Clarriette sued to vacate the gift and impose a constructive trust.

Whether inter vivos gifts are irrevocable.
