Holding

The court held that an oral agreement by which a grantee accepts legal title to real property subject to a trust for the benefit of the grantor creates an enforceable resulting trust, notwithstanding the Statute of Frauds, and that such a trust is not barred by the statute of limitations so long as the trustee's fiduciary obligations remain unrepudiated.
