SPRANG v. Altman

South Dakota Supreme Court

Decided June 24, 2009No. 24969Published

1Opinion of the Court

ZINTER, Justice.

[¶ 1.] M. Scott Sprang and Christina R. Sprang purchased real property from Doug Altman. Under the conditions of sale, Altman retained a qualified right of repurchase. A few years after the sale, Sprangs commenced this action seeking a declaration that Altman’s right of repurchase was personal to Altman and did not run with the land. Altman counterclaimed for reformation of the condition. The circuit court denied reformation and concluded that the condition was a personal contract that did not run with the land. Altman appeals both issues. We affirm.
