In a family law proceeding, the respondent wife brought a motion to compel further financial disclosure from the applicant husband's sister, who was a named tenant in common on the matrimonial home.
The wife claimed the husband was the true beneficial owner of the sister's 50% interest and sought a constructive and resulting trust.
The court ordered the sister to produce various documents, including a 2014 Notice of Assessment, a mortgage application, a police report regarding stolen cash, proof of loan repayment, joint bank statements, and housing authority renewals, finding them relevant to determining the true source of the funds used to purchase the property.
The wife was awarded costs of $3,500.
