Elizabeth L. Davis v. Helen K. Monahan

no. 01-1157

Broward County

Monahan sued her sister and niece for damages arising from their alleged wrongful taking of a variety of her assets. The niece, Davis, contended she had only used Monahan's assets as Monahan directed. She also contended that the statute of limitations had expired on Monahan's claim, though Monahan countered that she did not discover the alleged takings for several years. The trial court ruled in favor of Davis, but the Fourth District Court reversed.
