Wells Circuit Court

Civil Cases

Complaint for appropriation of real estate filed by the State of Indiana, through the Indiana Department of Transportation, against Catarino Ybarra, Jr. and Cathy M. Ybarra; Wells Fargo USA Holdings, Inc. as successor by merger to Wells Fargo Financial Indiana, Inc.; Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance; Midland Funding LLC; Capital One Bank USA; AAA Acceptance Corporation; Three Rivers Federal Credit Union; State of Indiana, Department of Revenue and Wells County, Indiana. 

The state is seeking appropriation of a portion of property from the Ybarras to create a cul-de-sac at the end of Hoosier Highway where it currently crosses the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. The cul-de-sac is part of a major realignment of Hoosier Highway. The Ybarras own a house and property near the railroad crossing. 

The state has sought to acquire a portion of the property for $7,500 however the two entities involved in the negotiation for the purchase of the property have not been able to agree on the value of the property. 

The other parties included in the suit are included only because they may have an interest by way of default judgments entered against the Ybarras in separate prior civil claims suits.
