In re Estate of Popp, No. 2012AP1730, 2013 Wisc. App. LEXIS 474 (Wisc. Ct. App. Jun. 6, 2013)

(surviving spouse sold 8.49 acres to second wife and balance of farmland to LLC formed with son; six of the couple's nine children sued to set conveyances aside in attempt to divide mother's undivided 50 percent interest in entire acreage among the nine children; children based claim on argument that father possessed only life estate in 50 percent interest of predeceased spouse; thus, conveyances expired on his death with all nine children having an interest in predeceased mother's 50 percent interest unencumbered by claims of purchasers or mortgagors; farm owned in tenancy in common by spouses; upon wife's death, husband owned undivided 50 percent and life estate in other 50 percent with remainder to children; court noted that wife's will clearly gave husband power to sell real estate comprising wife's 50 percent undivided interest).
