Question:
The client is Maria Pinto, an environmental sciences student who took time off from college at the University of North Dakota to care for her ailing Aunt and Uncle on their farm in Minot, North Dakota. After her Aunt died, her Uncle Jay's health began to fail, and he showed signs of dementia. She assisted him with financial matters and in making a will. Jay's two adult children, Logan and Tina, live in Florida, showed little interest in the farm, and did not come to visit him due to the pandemic. Jay died, and when Logan and Tina looked at his will, they learned that it left the entire farm to a land conservancy, rather than equally to them as they had anticipated. They are furious and have threatened to challenge the will in court, and Maria is very concerned that they will argue she exerted undue influence over Jay's will. The firm would like you to start evaluating this issue.
Write down a memo to discuss whether Jay Pinto was subject to undue influence.
