Taylor v. Babcock CA6
June Taylor died in September 2014. She was 90 years old. Eight weeks after her death, her son filed a complaint seeking to partition residential property in Ben Lomond she had purchased in 1992. He alleged a tenancy-in-common with his sister, defendant Lea Taylor Babcock, with each holding a 50 percent interest in the property. Plaintiff later filed an amended complaint claiming a 75 percent interest in the property, with his sister holding the remaining 25 percent interest.
A short cause bench trial was held in March 2016, with plaintiff represented by counsel and defendant representing herself. Soon thereafter the trial court issued a written decision finding that defendant owned the property (subject only to a lien by Bank of America) and denying the partition request.
