The moving party challenged the validity of the testator's 2007 Will, alleging lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge and approval, suspicious circumstances, and undue influence.
The testator, who had a lifelong history of bipolar disorder, changed her Will to name her niece as the sole beneficiary, removing the moving party.
The court found that the Will was duly executed and that the propounder of the Will satisfied the burden of proving capacity.
The court preferred the evidence of the respondent's medical expert and concluded the change in beneficiary was not the result of any delusion or disease of the mind.
The 2007 Will was declared valid.
