PROPERTY 2D DONATIVE TRANSFERS
Generally
Ind.2023. Cit. generally in ftn. to conc. op. Customers filed a putative class action against bank for
improperly collecting overdraft fees. The trial court granted bank's motion to compel arbitration
pursuant to an addendum to the parties' account agreement, which bank included in an email to
customers at the end of their monthly account statement. The court of appeals reversed and remanded.
This court affirmed, holding that the addendum was unenforceable, because the agreement did not
permit bank to unilaterally add new terms. The concurrence noting that, under Restatement of Consumer
Contracts § 3, the addendum was unenforceable because it did not provide a reasonable opportunity for
customers to reject its terms, and that, while the Restatement of Consumer Contracts was only a revised
tentative draft, Indiana courts had previously cited a proposed draft of the Restatement Second of
Property: Donative Transfers as persuasive authority. Decker v. Star Financial Group, Inc, 204 N.E.3d

conveyed unbeknownst to grantee and recorded, which dissolved grantor's fee simple interest in the
property in favor of the joint tenancy with grantee. The trial court granted grantee's motion for summary
judgment. This court affirmed, holding that grantor's conveyance of title to the property to himself and
grantee-in joint tenancy with the right of survivorship-was a valid inter vivos gift to grantee. The
court explained that, when grantor unilaterally transferred the property to grantee and dissolved
grantor's greater fee simple interest, the transfer could be presumed to be a gift, and under Restatement
