The plaintiff sought a constructive trust over the deceased's home and vehicle, claiming unjust enrichment arising from their common law relationship and joint family venture.
The court found that while the parties were in a joint family venture and the deceased was enriched by the plaintiff's contributions to the property and caregiving for his family, the plaintiff had been adequately compensated.
She received approximately $250,000 through beneficiary designations upon his death and had exclusive use of the home and vehicle for over two years.
The plaintiff's claim was dismissed, and the estate's counterclaim for possession of the home and vehicle was granted, though occupation rent was denied.
