Andrade 173 [Indexed as: Andrade v. Andrade] Manuela Estrela Andrade, Plaintiff (Respondent) and Henrique E. Andrade and Leonardo Andrade, Estate Trustee for Luisa Cabral Andrade, Defendants (Appellant) Ontario Court of Appeal Docket: CA C59214 2016 ONCA 368 Janet Simmons, K. van Rensburg, C.W. Hourigan JJ.A. Heard: November 12, 2015 Judgment: May 16, 2016* Estates and trusts –––– Trusts — Resulting trust — Creation — Miscellane- ous –––– L was widowed mother of seven children who worked to pay for chil- dren’s passage to Canada — Children each left school in their teens to begin work and gave earnings to L to support family — L bought house in 1974, bor- rowing cash deposit from community member and financing rest of purchase with two mortgages — At L’s direction, house was put in names of oldest son H and daughter MJ and in 1979 on L’s direction, MJ and H transferred house to another brother, J, and H as tenants in common for nominal consideration — Mortgages were renewed in names of J and H — Over time, each of children with exception of youngest child L married, left home, and stopped giving money to L — J died in 2007 and plaintiff, J’s wife, transferred his half interest to her name — Plaintiff brought successful action against H and L for declara- tion that she was beneficial owner of half interest in house, and counterclaim brought by L for declaration that she was beneficial owner of house was dis- missed — L died shortly before trial — L’s estate and H appealed — Appeal al- lowed — Trial judge erred in failing to find resulting trust in favour of L and made palpable and overriding error of fact in concluding that, at time of purchase and until she died, L had no money of her own — This error caused him to ignore evidence of L’s intention when house was put into her children’s names, and five years later when J went on title, that she would remain benefi- cial owner — H and J held house by way of resulting trust for L, who was bene- ficial owner at time of her death — L’s estate was sole beneficial owner of house and plaintiff was ordered to transfer her legal half interest in house to L’s estate — Trial judge incorrectly characterized money given to L by children to pay for house as children’s money — Money was, as matter of law, gift to L — Rent generated by house was also L’s money, as L advertised for and negotiated * Additional reasons atAndrade v.
