History
Skinner Professional Law Corporation has another successful win for their clients.
When a young man and his newlywed wife purchased a 160 acre farm with his father and mother, little did this couple expect that they would be fighting for their home and property 22 years later. The unfortunate family dispute with the father and mother suing their son and his wife, resulted in a trial held in the Huron County Court Circuit Court (Judge M. Richard Knoblock). The Defendant’s property originally purchased by the young couple for $200,000 was valued at the time of the trial at nearly a million dollars. The Defendants hired Attorney David R. Skinner to file a counter-claim and to fight for and protect their interests. The farm is now deeded to the husband and wife at tenants by the entireties. The successful verdict was based in large part on the evidence submitted that the son and wife had ousted the father and mother who claimed a one-half interest as tenants in common. A settlement demand by the Plaintiffs, father and mother, of $350,000 was rejected. The opinion of the court was based upon all of the surrounding circumstances and resulted in Defendants, as Counter-Plaintiffs, obtaining clear title to the farm.
