Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 3, 2021
Patricia Brown vs. Marjorie Pint, et al
Patricia Brown appealed the dismissal of her petition seeking a constructive trust against her family members regarding real estate her father conveyed to them via a beneficiary deed in 2001. The circuit court dismissed the petition, finding Brown's claims were barred by the statute of limitations. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the ten-year statute of limitations began to run when the beneficiary deed was recorded in 2001, providing constructive notice, and that the continuing wrong exception did not apply to the alleged loss of rental income.
