buy. Approximately 3 years later, the Beatty
purchased the property, with Mr. Beatty explaining
to Mrs. Beatty that she just needed to sign the
papers to make their ownership “official.”
The Beattys never opened or maintained joint
bank accounts. In fact, the only accounts in Mrs.
Beatty’s name (prior to 2001) were those opened by
and used solely by Mr. Beatty. Due to Mr.
Beatty’s bankruptcy in 1981 and ongoing tax prob-
lems, all vehicles purchased by Mr. Beatty have
been titled in the name of Mrs. Beatty. All vehi-
cles have been purchased from a friend/associate
who owns a car dealership. The vehicles are al-
ways financed. Presently, the Mr. Beatty owns 2
vehicles: a 1996 Chevrolet van, bought and fi-
nanced used in 1998 (balance owed is approximately
$10,000, estimated resale value: $8,000); and a
1999 Dodge Ram work van, financed in 1999 (balance
owed is approximately $16,000, estimate resale
value $7,000). Mr. and Mrs. Beatty do not have
any investments, do not have life insurance poli-
cies, and do not maintain any saving or retirement
accounts. They do not own expensive artwork or
collectibles, or live an extravagant lifestyle.
