Houston v. Tillman
Court of Appeals of North Carolina
1Opinion of the Court
GEER, Judge.
The trial court entered judgment in favor of plaintiff Geraldine Grier Houston and against defendants Juanita Tillman and the Estate of Clifford Medlin, Jr. for the sum of $120,000.00. On appeal, defendants primarily argue that the trial court erred when it imposed a constructive trust on certain property in the absence of defendants’ engaging in any wrongdoing. Because “wrongdoing” is not a requirement for imposing a constructive trust and because the record contains sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s imposition of a constructive trust, we find no error.
