- Later in 1987, the daughter O'Connor realized that her mother had only a 1/3 interest (2/6) in the lot
- Larocque = a sister of O'Connor
- O'Connor wanted to convince Larocque to hand over her share of the land to O'Connor
- Another sister & the surviving spouse of another conveyed their interests to O'Connor; in other words, 2 siblings handed over 2 * (1/6) interests to O'Connor
