SIEFERT V. SIEFERT
973 N.E.2d 834 (2012)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Susan (W) appealed a decision which found that W relinquished her
separate interest in a 1992 Ford Mustang when she transferred title of the vehicle into the
joint names of the parties after their marriage.
FACTS: W purchased the Mustang in 2001, prior to the parties' marriage. The parties
testified that, after their marriage on July 13, 2002, they began restoring the vehicle. The
parties spent considerable time, effort, and money during the Mustang's restoration, thereby
increasing its value from $7,500 to $27,200, the stipulated appraisal. At the time of
purchase, it was titled solely in W's name. In 2005, W transferred title of the Mustang from
her name to both the parties' names, jointly, with rights of survivorship. The trial court
determined that by transferring title of the vehicle, W 'converted any separate property
claims she may have had into a marital asset.' W appealed.
