FIERRO v. HOEL

No. 89-1570.

465 N.W.2d 669 (1990)

John J. FIERRO, Appellant, v. Janan HOEL, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Iowa.

December 27, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas T. Tarbox of Smith, Schneider, Stiles, Mumford, Schrage, Zurek, Wimer & Hudson, P.C., Des Moines, for appellant.

Robert G. Bridges of Bridges & Frampton, Des Moines, for appellee.

We hold an engagement ring is an inherently conditional gift and we therefore reverse.

Fierro and Hoel became engaged shortly...
