In re Estate of Knapp

Summary

The court affirmed disallowance of Barbara Knapp's claims to 40 percent of the marital residence proceeds and a statutory maintenance fund. It held that the premarital agreement's reference to a nonexistent article was an omitted term, not an ambiguity, and that reformation was unavailable without clear and convincing proof of mutual mistake. It also held that Barbara failed to prove the clear, satisfactory, and unequivocal terms of an oral contract and performance referable solely to that contract. No separate opinions were filed.
