WD 84770

Decided: November 22, 2022

Anthony W. Bonuchi, Kansas City, MO, Attorney for Appellant. Joel S. Hane, St. Joseph, MO, Attorney for Respondents.

Order

Brenda Appleton (Widow) appeals the judgment, following a bench trial, denying her petition to determine and quiet title to land belonging to ESJ Corporation, a Missouri corporation, which she claims was owned by her late husband Edward Appleton (Decedent). Widow raises one point on appeal. She argues that the trial court erred in finding that James Appleton, Decedent's son from a previous marriage, is the sole owner of ESJ because that finding is against the weight of the evidence. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
