No sufficient evidence of a change in common intention or unusual facts to displace the presumption that beneficial ownership equals legal title; the defendant had made substantial contributions and did not abandon the property; resulting trust was inapplicable; therefore beneficial ownership is 50:50 and the property should be sold with net proceeds divided equally, with the plaintiff entitled to recover $500,000 from the defendant's share and the defendant to be charged with the sale.
