Description
Plaintiff, as the personal representative of Homer Duncansons estate, sued the defendants to recover gifts of money made to them by the decedent shortly before his death. He alleged three theories of recovery: (1) the inter vivos gifts were testamentary in nature, and the decedent intended thereby to circumvent the terms of a mutual will; (2) the decedent made the gifts as the result of the undue influence of the defendant, Elizabeth Ayers; and (3) the decedent was mentally incompetent to make the transfer. The trial court found in favor of the plaintiff on all three theories and entered separate judgments against each of the defendants for the amount of each gift. This appeal followed.
