Esquibel v. Randazzo CA2/7
Monica Randazzo entered into a marital settlement agreement that required her to convey her interest in a commercial property to her former husband, Luis Esquibel. Randazzo delivered a grant deed to Esquibel, which he failed to record. Fifteen months later, the property was sold at a sheriff’s sale to satisfy a prior court order directing Esquibel to pay Randazzo over $52,000 in child support arrearages. Following the sale, Randazzo quitclaimed any remaining interest she may have had in the property to the purchaser.
Esquibel filed a breach of contract claim alleging Randazzo’s execution of the quitclaim deed constituted a breach of their marital settlement agreement. Randazzo moved for summary judgment, arguing that she had conveyed her entire interest in the property to Esquibel, and that the quitclaim deed was only intended to remove her name from the recorded title.
