    No. 82-2209.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Dec. 30, 1983.
    Louis X. Amato of MacLean, Amato, Ar-len & Anderson, Naples, for appellant/cross-appellee.
    John R. Asbell of Asbell, Hains, Doyle & Pickworth, Naples for appellees/cross-appellants.
    Richard J. Aaron of Richard A. Aaron, P.A., Naples, for cross-appellee Mary Jo Hixon.
    Jackson L. Boughner of Jackson L. Boughner, P.A., and Lynn Hixon-Holley, Naples, for cross-appellee Lee County Bank & Trust Co.
    Zemel and Kaufman, P.A., Miami, for cross-appellee Flagship National Bank of Miami.
   PER CURIAM.

Finding support in the record for the trial court’s ruling that no contract existed between the parties, we affirm that decision. We also affirm the trial court’s requirement of the return to the purchaser of his deposit money, plus expenses, and the denial of interest and attorney’s fees. We find no error in the trial court’s ruling that Hixon was not bound by the trust agreement.

AFFIRMED.

RYDER, A.C.J., and DANAHY and LE-HAN, JJ., concur.
