Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Leslie C. Grubb and Exie Grubb were husband and wife. For
convenience we shall frequently refer to them as Leslie and Exie,
respectively. Leslie departed this life September 20, 1967, and
his son, Max Grubb, was appointed special administrator of his
estate. In this capacity Max filed this lawsuit against Exie and
her daughter and son-in-law, Gretcha and Joe March, to recover
certain funds claimed to be assets of the estate. It may be said
generally that the action is premised on the theory of an implied
or constructive trust. Judgment was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff administrator, adjudging the estate to be entitled to a
one-half interest in funds totaling $75,000. The defendants have
appealed. The action was tried by the court on depositions. Perusing them
we learn that Leslie's earnings, in the form of salary and
bonuses, were quite substantial over the years and that Exie
deposited sizeable portions thereof in savings accounts and
certificates of deposit, some of which at least were originally
in the names of Leslie and herself, as joint tenants. At the time
of Leslie's death some of the accounts remained in their joint
names, but the majority were titled in the names of Exie and
Gretcha, and Exie and Joe.
