Marriage of Young
This is an appeal from the trial courts judgment on certain reserved issues in the marriage dissolution proceedings of appellant Erin Young (Wife) and respondent Bruce Young (Husband). The trial court entered the judgment after amending its earlier proposed statement of decision, which had found Husband transmuted his separate real property into property held by both parties in joint tenancy. After hearing Husbands objections to the proposed statement of decision, the trial court concluded that no transmutation occurred because there was no writing evidencing Husbands intent to transfer part of his ownership interest in the property to Wife. Wife contends the trial courts changed decision amounted to error, and seeks to vacate the judgment on reserved issues and have the earlier proposed statement of decision entered as the judgment. Court conclude the trial court erred as a matter of law in concluding that no transmutation had occurred.
