<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, I have an issue that you may have already encountered so I thought I would consult the learned members of this listserv. This is shorthand for my client does not want to pay me for research and I find it an interesting question.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are at the second stage of an appeal with a government agency. The core issue has come down to if my client is an “ owner “ of the property we win, if not, we loose. Client and a friend have a history of purchasing property together.
Friend puts up the purchase money and takes title in her name. Client provides all the repair / remodel money and labor. The parties have a joint bank account for this purpose but the funds are all my client’s. Friend considers him a full partner and co-owner
but his name is not on the deed. When the property is completed they either sell it or one cashes the other out and they rent it. Government agency says if your name is not on the deed you are not an owner and therefore you are in big trouble. I am looking
for examples of “ ownership” without being on a deed. I have considered nominee and constructive trust. One other example that comes to mind is adverse possession where ownership passed by operation of law but the “ owner” is not on any deed. Anybody else
been down this road? Thank you in advance for your input. Craig<u></u><u></u></p>
