Shortly after Benjamin had moved into the assisted living facility, Gabriel changed his mind about wanting to own the property. In subsequent litigation over this dilemma, Benjamin argued that all of the proper procedures had been completed to legally transfer the property to Gabriel. The court agreed, ruling in favor of Benjamin. But what if the facts of the case were different?

Explanation:

From the question we are informed about Benjamin, who was an older adult who decided to move from his lifetime home on a small farm to an assisted living facility. Benjamin had no spouse or surviving family. He decided to transfer his property to his neighbor, Gabriel. Benjamin would use the money gained from the transfer to help pay for his assisted living expenses. Shortly after Benjamin had moved into the assisted living facility, Gabriel changed his mind about wanting to own the property. In subsequent litigation over this dilemma, Benjamin argued that all of the proper procedures had been completed to legally transfer the property to Gabriel. The court agreed, ruling in favor of Benjamin. In the case, whereby the facts of the case were different, then I would say Benjamin failed to properly identify the grantee in the deed. The grantee who is the party that received the transfer of the property, and once the grantee is not properly identified the court cannot rule in favor of Benjamin.
