Jolanda Roberts v. William J. Glasgow

Defendant (purchaser) purchased plaintiff landowner's house and lot at a tax sale in 1987. In 1990, landowner brought this action to redeem the property and quiet title. The trial court found that landowner ""is and was a disabled person or a partially disabled person as defined in Chapter 475 of the Missouri Revised Statutes."" As a result, the trial court determined the period of redemption had not expired, canceled the tax deed, and permitted landowner to redeem the property. Purchaser appeals, raising only one point. He contends that the evidence did not establish landowner was ""mentally incompetent so as to toll the redemption period."" We disagree and affirm.
