Opinion
March 3, 1952.
Present — Nolan, P.J., Johnston, Adel, MacCrate and Schmidt, JJ. [See post, p. 1023.]
Defendant appeals from an interlocutory judgment decreeing that conveyances of certain real properties by two deeds to defendant from his mother were not intended to vest title in him, but were intended to assure to him an interest in the properties corresponding to the value of his contributions to their improvement, and subject to that interest, the properties were to be held by him in trust for the four parties to this action, each having an undivided one-quarter interest therein. The judgment also referred the matter to an Official Referee to determine the value of the premises at the time of the conveyances in 1946, the value of the improvements contributed by defendant, for an accounting, and dismissed the counterclaim. Interlocutory judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion.
