When Can a Will Be Broken Because of Fraud? Hattie Henderson died leaving a daughter, Eleanor, and a son, Paul. She had executed a will ' six months before her death giving all of her property to Eleanor. When the will was offered for probate it was contested by Paul. Evidence was given to the effect that Eleanor had in formed her mother that Paul's wife was very wealthy and Paul had not been visiting Hattie because he was ashamed of his mother and her run-down house and be longings. Eleanor knew that these statements were not true and that in fact Paul was not able Jo visit his mother because of financial difficul ties. The will was "broken" and Hattie's property was distributed equally between Eleanor and Paul as though she had died without a will. To "break" a will on the basis of fraud requires proof that a person made intention ally false representations to benefit himself. It must also be shown that the deceased relied on the false represen tations in making out his will. Not Sufficient Hattie's belief that Paul was wealthy would not in it self be sufficient to nullify the will. All persons who exe cute wills have some disillu sions regarding the nature or value of the property that they own, the faithfulness and character of the persons to whom they are giving their property or other such cir cumstances. Therefore, if mis takes in motive were grounds for "breaking" a will, all wills would be vulnerable to attack. The false impression must be created intentionally by one who stands to benefit from his act. . If Paul is unable to prove fraud he may be successful in breaking the will by showing that Eleanor had exerted "un due influence" over Hattie when the will was executed. If a person completely domi nates the thinking of the will maker so that the will is not really his "will," the docu- ment is subject to attack. Un du influence or fraud is sug gested if the will disinherits the natural "objects of bounty" (wife or children) of the will-maker or if the per sons receiving a substantial share of the estate is a confi dant of the will-aker. How ever, merely being kind to an elderly person or making rec ommendations as to the dis tribution that should be made of his property does not make a case of fraud or undue influence.
