Fernandez V. Garza

The facts material to the determination may be stated as follows: Plaintiff's husband died in 1921, leaving her a house and $3,000. In 1938, she entered into an agreement with Gerardo Zorrilla that she would take care of his property, including collecting the rents, cleaning when tenants moved and keeping the houses in repair, and that they would divide equally all rents collected and everything else. Thereafter, plaintiff moved into Zorrilla's home and shortly afterward entered into a meretricious relationship which continued until Zorrilla's death on August 14, 1949.
