Will Undue Influence Overpowered Widower’s Heirs in Contest
An 81 year old bedridden widower with five children made a will favoring one son and his wife, who lived with him, and excluded four other children.

The case cites Atlantic Reporter and Judge Reed. Also notes a life insurance case where false statements about illness and medical care were made in an application.
