The court found that the defendants failed to prove their special defense that they had an ownership interest in the property granted to Steven Poliansky by Andrew Poliansky. The court noted that the defendants did not produce at trial any written documents, including testamentary documents, deeds or contracts granting Steven Poliansky or any of the defendants an interest in the property. The court stated that the written documents introduced at trial reflected that as co-owner of the property, upon the death of Andrew Pol-iansky, the property would be the plaintiffs, absent any countervailing agreement or gift. The court stated that regardless of whether oral statements could be sufficient to create an ownership interest in the property, it did not find credible Steven Poliansky’s testimony that his father orally promised to leave the property to him. The court credited the plaintiffs testimony that she was not aware her husband made any such promises; the court further noted that as co-owner of the *202property, the plaintiffs interest in the property could not be given away without her consent.
