[[Media:CallsReports1854V2EppesvRandolph.pdf |''Eppes v. Randolph'']], 6 Va. 124, 2 Call 125 (1799),<ref>Daniel Call, ''Reports of Cases Argued and Adjudged in the Court of Appeals of Virginia,'' 3rd ed, ed. Lucian Minor (Richmond: A. Morris, 1854), 2:125.</ref> was a case where the court determined if creditors could recover when the indebted landowner conveyed his estate to his sons in order to avoid the loss of his estate.

==Background==
Richard Randolph was greatly indebted and knowing that his entire estate would go to his creditors upon death, wrote a will conveying property, some of which had already been seized, to his sons. Eppes and other creditors sued requesting a discovery of Randolph’s personal estate and that if the personal state is insufficient, that the creditors can satisfy the debt with the land conveyed to Randolph’s sons.
===The Court's Decision===
Chancellor Wythe dismissed the case with costs. The Court of Appeals reversed.
