Elfelt v. Cooper

This case is before the court on a petition for review of a published decision of the court of appeals, Elfelt v. Cooper, 163 Wis. 2d 484, 471 N.W.2d 303 (Ct. App. 1991). The court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the circuit court for Waukesha County, Clair Voss, Circuit Judge, which declared, after a jury trial, that the plaintiffs (the Elfelts) were owners of an undivided one-half interest in the home of the defendant Albina Cooper (Mrs. Cooper) as tenants in common. The judgment ordered a sheriffs sale of the property and determined an amount of rent due from Mrs. Cooper to the Elfelts.
