Grondziak v. Grondziak

This is an action by two brothers and a sister against another brother and his wife to cancel a deed from their mother and stepfather to defendants, on the ground, among others, that the execution of the deed was procured by undue influence.

The property conveyed by the deed, which reserved a joint and several life estate in the grantors, was a farm which was substantially the whole estate of the grantors.

The circuit court ruled that defendants had failed to disprove that they exercised undue influence in the execution of the deed and accordingly he entered a judgment setting aside the deed.
