The following excerpt is from Gutierrez-Zamora v. Gutierrez, A149211 (Cal. App. 2018):
In a resulting trust case, "[t]he substantial evidence rule . . . applies on appeal, [and it] applies without regard to the standard of proof applicable at trial." (In re Marriage of Ruelas (2007) 154 Cal.App.4th 339, 345.) "In reviewing the trial court's decision, we must 'accept as true all evidence tending to establish the correctness of the finding as made, taking into account, as well, all inferences which might reasonably have been thought by the trial court to lead to the same conclusion. Every substantial conflict in the testimony is . . . to be resolved in favor of the finding.' " (Johnson v. Johnson (1987) 192 Cal.App.3d 551, 553-554.)
