Derrick v. Derrick

| iBob Derrick appeals the Sebastian County Circuit Court’s June 2, 2015 order denying his complaint against appellees Juanita Derrick, Sarah Jane Jones, and John Derrick Jones for unjust enrichment. He argues that the trial court’s decision was clearly erroneous. We affirm.

Appellee Juanita Derrick deeded the property at issue, 143 acres in Greenwood, Arkansas, to her three grandchildren, leaving herself a life estate. Appellees Sarah and John Jones, two of Juanita’s three grandchildren, received the whole property as tenants in common after the third grandchild had deeded her portion to them.
