Will Contest Goes to the Video

Comfortably off and living in a waterfront home, a women in her 90s planned to leave everything to charity until she met a handsome, helpful police sergeant. Seven months before she died, she executed a new will – a trust, actually – leaving the sergeant the bulk of her estate.

Predictable result: a will contest, which now takes a new twist in the form of a video of the signing.

Was the elderly woman competent to reshape her estate plan? You can form your own opinion. This Portsmouth Herald article includes a link to a clip from the video.
