Gonzalez v. Sanchez
Beatriz Alejandra Sanchez appeals the judgment entered on her cross-complaint against her sister Ana M. Gonzalez, Ana's[1]husband Jose A. Gonzalez, and Jose's brother Gerardo T. Gonzalez (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Gonzalezes). Beatriz contends the trial court abused its discretion in denying reformation of grant deeds whereby the Gonzalezes and Beatriz and Ana's parents, Manuel and Maria Sanchez, hold title to a parcel of residential property as joint tenants. She also claims (1) the joint tenancy created by the original deeds was void because it lacked the requisite "four unities;" (2) the court should have imposed an equitable trust accounting for her monetary contributions to the acquisition and maintenance of the property; (3) the court erred in allowing an appraiser to testify without her approval; and (4) she is entitled to costs as the prevailing party. Court affirm.
