Georgia Supreme Court

- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Dr. James Senter (plaintiff) transferred property to Anna Furman (defendant) by warranty deed for $10. Senter filed suit, seeking a declaratory ruling that Furman held the property under a constructive trust. Senter stated that the parties executed the transfer while Senter was facing a malpractice claim that would cost him all of his assets, including the property in question. Senter stated that Furman had promised to convey the property back to Senter after the malpractice case ended. The trial court granted Furman summary judgment. Senter appealed.
