05/08/97 Marriage Colleen C. Olsen V. Office

When real property is given to a husband and wife as joint tenants, the wife's testimony in a dissolution proceeding that she believed the donor, her uncle, wanted her to be the sole owner and the uncle's testimony that he wanted to keep the real property in the family is not sufficient evidence to rebut the presumption under Minn. Stat. § 518.54, subd. 5 (1996) that the property is marital.
