Phelps v. Phelps

DANIEL E. SCOTT, Chief Judge.

For almost 25 years, Appellants Clay and Vicki Phelps lived in a farmhouse owned by Clay’s mother, Loretta. Disagreements arose and Loretta told Appellants to vacate, but they refused. Loretta sued for unlawful detainer and won. Appellants claim the trial court abused its discretion in excluding evidence that Loretta orally had promised the farm to Clay in return for his remodeling work on Loretta’s other houses. 1 We find no error and affirm the judgment.
