114 So. 2d 220

Leonard H. HEDLUND and Urth M. Hedlund, his wife, Appellants, v. Maceo JONES and Sherah Jones, his wife, Appellees.

No. 59-96.

District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.

Aug. 24, 1959.

*221Holcomb & Holcomb, Miami, for appellants.

Sol Maisel and Marvin Alan Rosman, Miami, for appellees.

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiffs appeal from an order dismissing their action to enforce a vendor’s lien upon property owned by the defendants. The complaint sets forth that a corporation, D & H Construction Co. Inc., was the owner of the real property in question, that the corporation sold the property to defendants, and that a part of the consideration was defendants’ promissory note. The note was transferred to the plaintiffs as a part of a division and partition of the property of the corporation. The note was endorsed “without recourse” to the corporation.

The chancellor correctly dismissed the complaint. A vendor’s implied lien is personal to the vendor, and in Florida it is not assignable by him nor does it follow the debt without assignment. Alabama-Florida Co. v. Mays, 111 Fla. 100, 149 So. 61, 91 A.L.R. 139; McKeown v. Collins, 38 Fla. 276, 21 So. 103.

Affirmed.

HORTON, C. J., and PEARSON and CARROLL, CHAS., JJ., concur.
