Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Statute of Frauds

My ex-boyfriend sued stating he made a loan to me for purchase of property. He alledges the loan was for 50K. There was no loan. I did receive 50K. 25K was by cashier's check to re-pay a debt he had with me and 25K was the actual check he received from a settlement. This loan was not alledged until after our relationship went sour-less than a year from the date that I received the monies. I did purchase a property. His name is not on the property, I purchased it alone without his involvement. His attorney has alledged staute of frauds and that wehad a verbal agreement to purchase the property. This was not the case. What do I need to do to have this case dismissed or at least some of the counts. Which specific Statutes pertain to my defense. Everything I have read supports my defense, but I want to be sure I have not overlooked any cases. Please refer also a method to review case laws. What is it that I need to prove to the judge other than the disputed he said she said alledged loan.

Re: Statute of Frauds

I suggest retaining counsel for a claim like this. Typically, the statute of frauds is raised as a defense to a claim and not as an affirmative claim of relief. You may be mistaken about the claim asserted. If I can be of any help please give me a call at 941-954-4691 or email at [email protected]
