    HCA2198/1996

    Judge accepted Plaintiff's evidence and supporting witness, rejected Defendant's evidence that the father/Defendant provided the purchase funds or had entrusted all earnings; found the 1982 transfer was made to defeat a matrimonial claim and therefore the mother (and her estate) held the Property on a constructive/resulting trust for the Plaintiff; accordingly the estate was ordered to re-assign the Property to the Plaintiff subject to the existing mortgage; counterclaim dismissed.
