Case file · 22CA-CC00140
He signed a settlement in front of a mediator, then would not sign the agreement — according to his own brother.
A civil dispute between two brothers over real property and mineral rights. It is included here for one narrow reason: it is a public court record in which a party alleges the same sequence the consumer cases describe — an agreement reached, signed, and then not honored. To be unambiguous about it: Matthew Yoakum is the plaintiff here. He is the one who signed the settlement and went to court to enforce it. He runs a separate business, holds his own Kansas licence, and nothing anywhere on this site is about him. Every statement on this page is an unproven allegation from a filed motion.

What is alleged, and not yet proven
Read this first
Everything in this list is an allegation made in a filed court document. A judge has notruled on any of it. It appears here because the filing itself is a public record — not because it has been established.
- That after signing a Mediation Term Sheet reviewed and signed by all parties, their counsel, and the mediator, the defendant failed and refused to execute the settlement agreement and beneficiary deed and to make the payment called for.
- That the defendant, upon receiving the settlement agreement, stated for the first time that he had bequeathed the mineral rights to someone else and was unwilling to include them.
- That the defendant then refused to make a $10,000.00 cash payment called for in the agreement.
- That the defendant “has purposefully and intentionally engaged in a course of conduct to frustrate and interfere with the settlement agreement he agreed to.”
