BRACKENBURY V. HODGKIN
116 Me. 399, 102 A 106 (1917)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an equity action to reconvey real property, to enjoin a
party from further prosecution of an action, and to obtain clear title to the real property
in question.
FACTS: Sarah Hodgkin (D), a widow, wrote to her daughter and son-in-law, the Brackenburys
(P), and asked P to move from Missouri to Maine and care for her for the rest of her life. P
was to have use of the farm and the household goods. D's letter stated that P could have the
place when D passed away. P moved to Maine, lived on the farm, and cared for D. After
several weeks, an argument ensued and D asked P to leave. D then executed and delivered the
farm deed to her son, Walter (D2). D2 took the deed with full knowledge of the agreement
between D and P. D served notice to quit upon P, but P refused to remove themselves from the
farm. P sued to secure a reconveyance of the property. P obtained a judgment and D appealed.
