Brown v. Greenheart

The issue this case presented for the Supreme Court's review centered on the reformation of a deed to real property. Appellant Augusta Greenheart challenged a district court decision that determined a warranty deed conveying a portion of land "with their appurtenances" did not transfer a water right to Greenheart as the purchaser of the property. The district court ordered the warranty deed reformed due to mutual mistake, and grounds of quasi-estoppel and waiver, and granted the sellers of the property, respondents Jay and Christine Brown, full water rights to the property. The district court entered a judgment reforming the deed accordingly and awarded attorney fees to the Browns as prevailing parties. Finding no reversible error, the Supreme Court affirmed the district court's judgment.View "Brown v. Greenheart" on Justia Law
