Mrs. Ewachniuk had a son and two daughters. In 2006 at the ageof 90 she died leaving a $2 million estate. In 2004 she had changedher will and left everything to her son. He had once practiced lawand drew up the will for her and had it executed. Prior to this shehad left her estate to be divided equally between her threechildren. The two daughters brought this action challenging thewill. What would be the basis of their argument and the likelyoutcome? Would your answer be any different with the knowledge thatthe son had been responsible for preserving the family fortune fromserious tax problems back in the 1960, and it was this fortune thathad supported Mrs. Ewachniuk and her deceased husband over theyears? There was no evidence of anything happening in the yearsimmediately prior to the changed will that would have given her areason to change it.
