Case Details
Decedent was the elderly widow of a long time small town dentist. The couple had no children and had amassed a modest fortune. Decedent executed a will some months prior to her death and benefited three local churches with the residue going to a long time family friend who provided care and assistance to her on a daily basis during the waning years of her life. Upon her death the will was admitted to probate. A will contest was filed by two nieces who claimed that the decedent lacked testamentary capacity when she executed the will. The decedent was a resident in a nursing facility at the time she executed the will.
Additional Notes
After extensive discovery and deposition of the two nieces who were contesting the will, the case mediated and resulted in payment of a nominal sum to each niece. The bequests to the church were upheld and the family friend received the balance of the estate which was approximately $800,000.00.
