Evelyn Tarnawa v. Richard Goode

Summary

The court affirmed an order requiring the sale and equitable division of jointly owned property. It held that the superior court had concurrent jurisdiction because the partition claim was only tangentially related to the decedent's estate, and that the claim was not barred by res judicata, laches, or the availability of a contractual remedy. The court also declined to reweigh the equities or remand for further consideration of the defendant's asserted circumstances.
