Exercise 34
Velma Lee Robinson executed a will by which she left most of her property to the Velma Lee and John Harvey Robinson Charitable Foundation. Twelve years later, she executed new estate planning documents that left her estate to her nieces and nephews. Nine months after executing the later will, she suffered the first of a series of strokes. After she died, there was a contest between the two wills. Friends and caregivers testified that Robinson would have been unable to read the later documents and would not have understood them at the time she signed them. She was unable to handle her business and became confused. A physician testified from her medical records that there was a progression of pathological disease processes that was causing her to lose brain cells. Did Robinson have the necessary capacity to execute the later will? [ In re Estate of Robinson , 140 S.W.3d 782 (Tex. Ct. App.)]
