Facts

Joseph Sieger (plaintiff) and Amelia Sieger (defendant) were divorced. Prior to the divorce, Joseph asked Amelia to buy real estate for him because he was illiterate. Amelia bought the property but did so under her own name without telling Joseph. The property was mostly paid for with money Joseph received from selling other property owned by him. Joseph demanded Amelia convey the real estate to him, but Amelia refused. Joseph sued, and the trial court found that Joseph was the owner of an undivided two-fifths of the real estate and that Amelia held title to that interest in trust for Joseph. Amelia appealed to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
