Docket entry

941647 Sprouse v. Griffin 06/09/1995 In a case where one of the parties to a pending divorce action died after the marital home held by the couple as tenants by the entireties was sold but before the money was divided, the trial court correctly ruled that the funds became the sole property of the wife upon the husband's death and the ruling of the Court of Appeals that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to determine entitlement to the funds is reversed.
