Fehlow v. Orvis
Fehlow v. Orvis
Opinion of the Court
There can be no doubt that at common law under the facts proven, the defendant Flora would have been held a trustee under a resulting trust. It is equally plain and certain that under the law of this state resulting trusts have been abolished (sec. 231.07, Stats.), excepting in-those cases mentioned in sec. 231.09; and it is equally certain that the defendant Levi does not bring himself within the exception. Levi parted with his interest in the premises in question in 1894 to his brother Justin. In 1914
This case is ruled by Richtman v. Watson, 150 Wis. 385, 136 N. W. 797. We need not here repeat what was said there with respect to the abolition of resulting trusts.
By the Court. — Judgment affirmed.
