The plaintiffs sought to set aside the conveyance of their deceased father's family home to himself and his grandson as joint tenants, arguing resulting trust and undue influence.
The court found that the presumption of resulting trust applied to the transfer to the adult grandson, but it was rebutted by evidence showing the grandfather intended the transfer as a gift to reward the grandson for financially saving the house from power of sale proceedings.
The court also found no express undue influence and that any presumption of undue influence was rebutted by the grandfather's clear, independent intentions.
The action was dismissed.
