The value of the land at the time of its conveyanoe was $25,000. Duane A. Beard and Defendant subsequently commenoed building a home on the property and were later married September 26, 1987. After marital diffioulties arose between them, they sold the property on September 17, 1992. This aotion was oommenced by Plaintiff against Defendant to recover from her one- half of the value of the property ($12,500) pursuant to the agreement reached in July or August of 1986. ~ STATEMENT OF FACTS CONCERNING DAMAGES. As indicated above, the terms of the agreement between Plaintiff and Ouane A. Beard and Defendant required payment to Plaintiff of $25,000 in the event the land was ever sold by them. Duane A. Beard has paid Plaintiff the sum of $5,000 toward this obligation. Although Duane A. Beard and Defendant are considered jointly and severally liable on the total debt claimed since the land in question was sold in conjunction with obtaining a divorce, Plaintiff ie claiming damages of Defendant in the amount of $12,500 - representing one-halt of the total amount due upon the sale of the propsrty. -2- LAW OI'I'ICf!Ol SNEUIAK1!:A " BRf:NNl!:MMI III. STATEMENT OF-Ia~UES CONC~RNING LIAQJLITY AND DAMA~. The primary issue in this case is whether an oral agreement existed between Plaintiff, his son and Defendant as set. forth above. Defendant claims 110 such agreement existed and that the land was given to her and her husband-to-be as a weddinq gift. Defendant also claims that the agreement alleged violates the statute of Frauds. IV. .LEGAL I.Q~..k.ONCERNING EYIDEN'fIARY JoIA'IT..f:.B.S..

( ( I Agreement is t.here any Indicat.ion oE t.he existence of the debt. complained oE by the Plaintiff in this case, Claudette first received notice of Plaintiff's claim by way of a letter she received from PlaintIff on March 17, 1992. Disturbed by this claim, ehe contact.ed her now ex-husband, Duane, to inquire as to his knowledge of PlaintiEE's claim. Duane assured Claudette that the property was given to both of them a8 a wedding gift, and that Plaintiff was mistaken. Notwithstanding this assurance by Plaintiff's son, Plaintiff assert8 that an oral agreement was entered into at some point prior to the land conveyance of January 7, 1987. This purported oral agreement oblig,3.ted Duane and Claudette to pay a sum of money to Plaintiff equal to the fair market value of the property at the time of the conveyance, i.n the event that Duane and Claudette ever sold that tract of land, Claudette G, Kreiser denies being a party to any such oral agreement and furthermore denies that such an agreement ever existed. In September of 1992, Duane and Claudet te conveyed their interest in the property to Jesse J. and Julie M. overgord, On January 6, 1994, Plaintiff filed this action in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, demanding $12,500.00. This amount allegedly rept'esents one-half of the fair market value of the property conveyed to Claudette and Duane in January, 1987, 2 II. STATIMINT OP THI BASIC PACTa AS TO DAMAGIS, Plaintiff cla ims that his damages total $12,500.00. Plaintiff measures these damages by way of the alleged fair market value of the land conveyed to Def'Jndant and her husband in 1987, Plaintiff contends that Defendant is liable for one-half of the alleged fair market value of the land conveyed, (Le, $25,000.00). III. STATBMINT AS TO PRINCIPA~ ISSUBS OP LIABILITY AND DAMAGBS. The principal issues of these proceedings are as follows: (1) Whether a valid oral agreement was entered into prior to the 1987 conveyance of land from Plaintiff to Defendant and Plaintiff's son; and (2) If there was a valid oral agreement, whether Defendant was a party to Buch agreement, IV. SUMMARY OF LEGAL ISSUES. The sole legal issue involved is whether there existed a valid oral contract between the parties. The elements necessary to give rise to an enforceable contract are offer, acceptance, consideration, and mutual meeting of the minds. Schreiber v. alan Mills, 426 Pa. Super 537, 627 A.2d 806 (1993). The offer must be clear and definite, fahrinaer v. .s.trlne's Estat.e, 420 PA 48, 16 A.2d 82 (1966), and the acceptanGe must be conveyed on the exact and precise t.erms offered, Groskin v. Bookmver, 310 PA 588, 166 A 233 (1933), 3 Thull, to find a valid oral contl'act, thlll COllt'1: must' flrut: find that a clear and definite onor had been commllnlcatflCj by the (llaintiff, George W. Beard, .Ie" to the Defendant, CLalldotte Kreisel'. Fahril'\9.fi~~.t.~'ine'u I:l1.lLll.ll., <120 I'A <Ill, 21.6 A.2d 82 (1966), Next, this Court must find that ClaudlJtt:e Kreisor accopted this of fer as commun icated and conveyed <llICh acceptllllCe to George W. Beard, J't'" the Plaint if f, wh teh would have thereby created a meeting of the minds. ili:.illl.ruLY, Bookmyer, 310 PA 588, 166 A 233 (1933). Finally, the Court must find that both parties' promises were supported by consideration, which, however, is not at issue in theRe proceedings. Claudette Kreiser knew nothing of the purported offer until March 1992, over five years after the purported offer was made to her. Thus, she could not have conveyed an acceptance of Plaintiff's of fer to the Plaint i. ff if she knew nothing of such offer, Although silence on the part of an individual can at times consti tute an acceptance by that individual, it only does so if the law implies a duty upon that indivi.dual to speak. Solis-Cohen v, Phoenix Mutual Life j:nsuran~..J&.., <113 PA 633, 198 A.2d 55<1 (1964). However, no duty was imposed upon the Defendant, Claudette Kreiser to speak under these facts where she believed what she recelved was a gift, 4 5.
