Madrona v. Madrona
This case involves a dispute between a mother and her adult son over ownership of the family home. Seventy eight year old Edith Madrona claims she is the sole owner of the house and that her son, Rhainell Madrona, defrauded her into granting him a joint tenancy interest in the property. Rhainell, 47 years old, contends that his mother tried to fraudulently remove him from title. Mrs. Madrona portrays herself as a loving parent victimized by a perfidious son; Rhainell characterizes the case as a mothers betrayal.
The trial court nonsuited Mrs. Madronas claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and financial abuse, and quieted title jointly in Mrs. Madrona and her son as joint tenants. Court find that Mrs. Madrona presented sufficient evidence to allow her fraud claim to go to a jury. Because those issues are critical to the judgment as a whole, court reverse and remand for a new trial.
