Stella Jankowski added her niece, Genevieve Viarengo, as a joint owner on Jankowski’s bank accounts. In executing a will, Jankowski told her attorney, John Wabiszczewicz, that she wanted her estate divided equally among her ten nieces, nephews, and cousins. Neither she nor Viarengo mentioned the joint accounts. After Jankowski’s death, her estate totaled about $600,000. The joint accounts were valued at about $500,000. Viarengo claimed that those accounts were hers. Jankowski’s relatives filed a suit against Viarengo. Should the court impose a constructive trust? Discuss. [Garrigus v. Viarengo, 112 Conn.App. 655, 963 A.2d 1065 (2009)]
