Monarch Title of Northern Missouri, et al Missouri Cases

Appellants J. Todd Frye, et al., sued Monarch Title of Northern Missouri, alleging negligence in preparing a map and legal description for a land sale, which they claimed misled them about the acreage purchased. The trial court found Monarch Title was not negligent, and Appellants appealed, arguing the ruling was against the weight of the evidence and erroneously applied the law. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, concluding that the specific argument regarding the plat map was not preserved for appeal and, even if it had been, Monarch Title performed its duty as instructed by its clients.
