MINONK STATE BANK V. GRASSMAN
447 N.E.2d 822 (1983)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over real estate ownership.
FACTS: Real estate was conveyed to Gustav, Agnes, Ida, and Frieda Grassman as joint
tenants. Gustav and Frieda died. This left Agnes and Ida (D). D executed and recorded a deed
which conveyed the land from herself as grantor to herself as grantee for the sole purpose
to dissolve any and all rights of survivorship. Agnes had no knowledge of this deed. Agnes
died and Minonk (P), the administrator of the estate filed an action seeking a declaration
that Agnes was a 1/2 owner of the property in question. The circuit court ruled that D was
the sole surviving joint tenant. P appealed. The appeals court reversed.
