Long v. Long
Supreme Court of Ohio
343 N.E.2d 100 (Ohio 1976)
Relevant factsFree
Henry Long conveyed three tracts in fee tail to his three children in 1919; when Jesse Long (one of the three original tenants in tail) died intestate and without issue in 1974, the property reverted to Henry's estate, but by then Jesse's own interest had passed by quitclaim deed to Howard Long, and the other two original tenants' interests had passed to various heirs and devisees, including Bessie Long (defendant), who received a share by specific devise. Paul Olinger and others (plaintiffs) sued Bessie to determine everyone's respective interests in the reverted property.
IssueFree
Whether a grantor's interest in a property conveyed in fee tail is descendible, alienable, assignable, and devisable.
