The applicant and respondents are siblings involved in estate litigation over their mother's will.
The respondents brought a motion to declare valid an agreement among the beneficiaries to sell the deceased's home to one of the respondents at a reduced price, in exchange for caregiving provided before death.
The applicant opposed, arguing he did not read the full agreement, did not obtain independent legal advice, and the agreement was not signed by all parties.
The court found the applicant's evidence lacked credibility and held that the essential terms were agreed upon orally and reflected in the written document he signed.
The court declared the agreement valid and binding, and dismissed the applicant's cross-motions for the sale of the property and further disclosure.
