Coats v. Nelson
This is an appeal following judgment after the court sustained a demurrer and granted a motion for judgment on the pleadings by Ronald and Vicky Nelson (collectively the Nelsons) on a complaint filed by Michael Coats and Jeremy Coats (collectively the plaintiffs).[1] The complaint alleged claims against the Nelsons for quiet title, fraud, and other causes of action relating to a piece of real property owned by a trust. The Nelsons, joining with two institutional defendants, successfully demurred to all of the causes of action except for quiet title on the grounds that plaintiffs were not real parties in interest, but beneficiaries of the trust. The Nelsons then brought a motion for judgment on the pleadings on the same grounds, which the court granted. We agree with the Nelsons that the trial court properly sustained the demurrer and granted the motion for judgment on the pleadings, and therefore affirm.
