The applicant estate trustee sought the court's opinion on which of two promissory notes executed by the respondent to her late mother was valid.
The first note required repayment of a $142,000 loan, while the second note, produced by the respondent after her mother's death, stated the loan was forgiven upon death.
The court found that the deceased did not change her mind to forgive the loan, relying on the evidence of two lawyers and rejecting the respondent's evidence, including a purportedly forged email.
The court concluded that only the first promissory note was valid and enforceable.
