Eric Daniel Paschke v. Jessica Ruth Paschke

Syllabus

Appellant filed this declaratory judgment action against his sister, seeking to enforce a contract concerning property owned by the siblings' parents at their deaths. After a bench trial, the trial court found that the contract was unenforceable, as there was no meeting of the minds due to a mutual mistake of fact. The trial court further found that a conveyance of real property was barred by the statute of frauds. Because Appellant has failed to supply this Court with a transcript or statement of the evidence presented at trial, we must affirm the trial court's finding that there was no meeting of the minds due to a mutual mistake.
