On Petition for Rehearing
STRUTZ, Judge.
The defendants have served and filed a petition for rehearing in which they raise several objections to the opinion of this Court in the above cases. They first assert that this Court overlooked the status of Victor Frederick and contend that the appeal should have determined the validity of the deeds which had been given to Victor.
These actions were brought to quiet title to lands which were described in the purported deeds to John and Joseph. In the amended complaint Victor is named as a party plaintiff, but solely because he was the holder of a power of attorney from the plaintiff, Tracy, to manage and operate the land described in the deeds to John and Joseph. Neither of the plaintiffs, Tracy and Victor, nor the defendants, John and Joseph,, requested any determination of the ownership of the lands and property which had been deeded to Victor or to the other children. The only issue before this Court in the above actions was the status of the ownership of the lands described in the deeds to John and Joseph. Therefore, we could not make any determination of the status of the lands described in the deeds to Victor or to the other children. No doubt the administrator who will be, or who has been, appointed to administer the estate of Alois Frederick will make proper demand for any other property which should be a part of the estate.
The defendants again, in their petition for rehearing, argue that there was a constructive delivery of the deeds to the defendants, John and Joseph, and again urge that the plaintiff Tracy Frederick should be estopped by her conduct from denying the title of John and Joseph. Both of these questions have been fully considered in the opinion heretofore rendered and we adhere to the determination made on these issues.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
TEIGEN, C. J., and ERICKSTAD, KNUDSON and PAULS ON, JJ., concur.
