California Court of Appeal

In an action related to dissolution of marriage proceedings, trial court judgment finding that defendant-husband had not transmuted his separate property is reversed where: 1) the agreement executed by the parties unambiguously effected a transmutation of defendant-husband's separate property into community property; and 2) the court's judgment that plaintiff-wife failed to rebut the presumption of undue influence attaching to the transaction was not supported by substantial evidence.
