In Bryant v. Bryant , after the Bronx County Surrogate's Court declared a deed of no force and effect, an appeal to the Appellate Division, First Department, followed.
George Henry Bryant proved by "clear and convincing" evidence that a property's conveyance to his brother, Dennis, was fraudulent.
Among other things, George's expert established the deed wasn't signed by the parties' mother. (It was also shown that the document wasn't legitimately executed, acknowledged and delivered.)
That no-good deed went punished.
