KENT v. KLEIN
Supreme Court of Michigan (1958) | 352 Mich. 652; 91 N.W.2d 11
TL;DR: A mother conveyed land to her daughter, intending it for her incompetent son. The daughter later refused to convey it to the son's heirs. The court imposed a constructive trust, compelling conveyance.
Legal Significance: This case clarifies that a constructive trust can be imposed to prevent unjust enrichment where property is unconscionably withheld, even absent fraud or an explicit promise, particularly within a confidential familial relationship.
