Case about an alleged ‘secret trust’ of real property, situated in England, under a will. The question is whether the devisee under the will, the defendant, holds the deceased’s interest in the property on trust so as to give the claimant, the deceased’s daughter, a 37.5% interest in the property (or, more accurately, in the deceased’s 71% beneficial interest in it). The daughter asserts this case. The defendant, her aunt, denies it.
