A Kansas woman has won a legal battle with her cousin over a property sale, with an appeals court ruling their oral agreement to buy a home and five acres was enforceable. Tiffany Miller took over the property in 2020 after her cousin, Aaron Harvey, defaulted on his mortgage, agreeing to pay $80,000. Miller paid off the overdue mortgage and made repairs over four years. Harvey later received a $150,000 offer but a court upheld the initial verbal deal, preventing him from selling to the new buyer.
