Description
Appellant, Mark Snyder, Jr., appeals from an order of the probate court setting aside the termination of his father's estate
based on fraud under § 472.013 RSMo 1986. The probate court found that title to the family home vested in respondent,
appellant's mother, Catherine J. Snyder, as the survivor of a tenancy by the entirety, even though she and the deceased were
not married when they took title to the real property. The court also found appellant's failure to correct the inventory and
relinquish any claim to the property amounted to fraud. This matter was submitted to the probate court on an agreed stipulation
of the facts. The primary issue in this case centers around ownership of property included in the estate of Mark E. Snyder, Sr., (Mark,
Sr.). In 1940, Mark, Sr. married a woman named Kathryn (K) but separated from her in 1954. While still married to K, he began
a liaison with Catherine J. Gillen (respondent), who was also legally married to another person. The life-long liaison resulted
in the birth of a son, Mark, Jr.(appellant), born in 1961 and a daughter, Cherry Lynn, born in 1963. A few years after the
children were born the parties purchased a home together at 13118 Cozy Hill Drive, St. Louis, Mo. Although neither was divorced
from their respective spouses, the deed was titled Mark E. Snyder and Catherine J. Snyder, his wife, as owners.
