THE GRANTOR WAS NOT THE SOLE HEIR OF THE TITLE HOLDER; THEREFORE THE DEED PURPORTING TO TRANSFER A 100% INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY WAS VOID AB INITIO (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined a deed was null and void because the grantor was not the sole heir of the title holder:

By a deed dated July 25, 2012, Colie Gallman, Jr., alleged to be the sole heir of Lillian Hudson, purportedly transferred his 100% interest in certain real property owned by Hudson to the defendant. In January 2015, the plaintiff commenced this action against the defendant seeking a judgment declaring that the July 25, 2012 deed is null and void. * * *

A misrepresentation in a deed that the seller of the property is the sole heir of the holder of the title to the property renders the conveyance void ab initio … . Here, the evidence and affidavits submitted by the plaintiff to the Supreme Court during the course of motion practice in this action established that Colie Gallman, Jr., was not the sole heir of Hudson as of the date of the subject deed, and thus, the deed purporting to convey all of the interest in the subject property is void ab initio … . In opposition, the defendant failed to raise a triable issue of fact. 23A Vernon, LLC v Oneal, 2021 NY Slip Op 05017, Second Dept 9-22-21
