Jones v. Pizon

¶ 1 A jury concluded that Raymond Jones, Sr., was incompetent when he entered into two contracts to sell real estate to Brian Pizon. Pizon appeals from a judgment invalidating the transfers on several grounds. Most notably, he argues that incompetency to enter a contract must be proven by clear and convincing evidence, not by the greater weight of the credible evidence as the jury was instructed. Pizon also takes issue with the court's decision to allow certain testimony regarding Jones' competence and the court's denial of a motion for mistrial. We find no error in the proceedings and affirm.
