Mark D. Stanley v. Karlynne D. Akos, Jeffrey H. Stanley, Kevin A. Stanley and Hire Holdings, LLC v. Lisa Stanley

Domestic relations without children. Reverses the Kosciusko Superior Court’s judgment that the entirety of the Lake House, lake front property deeded to Mark Stanley in the settlement of the estate of Karol Stanley, is marital property. Finds that the factual findings support the conclusion that an express trust was not created. Also finds that the findings do not support the conclusion that a resulting trust was not impressed upon the property and the judgment is clearly erroneous in this regard. Remands for further proceedings.
