Description
The primary issue to be resolved in this case is whether the statute of frauds forecloses Kenneth Wesley Davis (KWD) from a trial on his claim of an oral contract with his mother, Virginia M. Davis (VMD), to convey the family ranch to him. Embraced within this primary issue are collateral issues concerning whether KWD can avoid the statute of frauds by relying upon the doctrine of substantial part performance or the doctrine of promissory estoppel. An additional issue is present relating to whether the enforcement of his rights under any theory is foreclosed by the applicable statute of limitations. We hold that the evidence presented by KWD in opposition to the motion for summary judgment was not sufficient to satisfy the doctrine of substantial part performance or the doctrine of promissory estoppel and that any oral contract as to which he might have been able to avoid the statute of frauds should have been performed, if at all, more than ten years before he filed his action. The summary judgment entered by the trial court in favor of VMD and other members of the Davis family is affirmed.
