RAY, by Guardian, v. ASHBURN BANK.

DUCKWORTH, Chief Justice.

Where, as here, stipulated facts show that the defendant in fi. fa. conveyed the land levied upon to a claimant for a valuable consideration, the deed containing a clause to the effect that the grantor reserved the right to occupy the conveyed land without paying rent "so long as he desires to do so," the reservation is not a life estate, since by its plain terms it may be terminated at will; and it was therefore not subject to the levy, and the court erred in ruling against the claimant. Code § 61-101; Harber Brother v. Nash, 126 Ga. 777 ( 55 S.E. 928). Compare Mitchell v. Spillers, 203 Ga. 565 ( 47 S.E.2d 564).

Judgment reversed. All the Justices concur.

ARGUED SEPTEMBER 14, 1955 — DECIDED OCTOBER 13, 1955 — REHEARING DENIED NOVEMBER 16, 1955.
