Sandy M. v. Donald M. (Signed Opinion)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the circuit court declaring Respondent as the owner in fee of all of the property and appurtenances of the property in dispute in this case, holding that the circuit court did not err in granting title of the disputed property to Respondent.
Respondent filed a complaint against Petitioners, who were the guardians and conservators for their father, alleging that the father had conveyed title to the disputed property to him by a deed that was never recorded, that Respondent had title under a claim of adverse possession, and that Petitioners were unjustly enriched by the improvements Respondent built upon the land. After a bench trial, the circuit court declared that Respondent was the owner in fee of the disputed property. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in its factual findings or conclusions of law in regard to Respondent's right to title in the disputed property based on the deed between the father and Respondent that was later lost or stolen.
