Highlight
The determination of mental capacity and whether undue influence exists are ordinarily questions of fact.
A district court’s decision regarding discovery matters will not be reversed on appeal absent an abuse of discretion.
Whether a cotenant has ousted another cotenant from property is a question of fact.
A tenant in common who has ousted his cotenant is liable to the cotenant for rent or for use of the property.
In exercising its discretion in a partition action, the district court has great flexibility in fashioning appropriate relief for the parties.
A district court has broad discretion over evidentiary matters.
