Arnoult v. Griffin

NEARN, Judge.

G. Patrick Arnoult, Conservator for G. Y. Jones, brought suit against C. R. (Neil) Griffin and his wife, Elizabeth Griffin, to recover from them certain inter vivos transfers made by his ward prior to Ar-noult’s appointment as Conservator. It was the contention of the Griffins that the transfers were gifts to them by G. Y. Jones and/or his wife, Grace Yates Jones, made out of love and affection and based on a long, close, personal friendship. The Chancellor, sitting without a jury, found for the Conservator and all transfers were set aside. The Griffins have appealed.
