KRS 381.160: Purchaser evicted by heir of grantor may recover to extent of estate

inherited.

If a deed such as that mentioned in KRS 381.150, contains a general warranty of the

estate it purports to convey, and there is a claimant of the land who has received any

estate, real or personal, by gift, advancement, descent, devise or distribution from the

vendor, such claimant shall be barred of recovery to the extent of the value of the estate

so devised. If, after the claimant has recovered the land from such vendee, or if, after

having been required to answer, he has denied the reception of any estate in either of the

modes before named, the estate shall come to him in any such manner, the vendee, his

heirs or personal representative, may recover from such claimant up on the warranty the

value of such estate or so much thereof as will be sufficient to satisfy his demand.
