At аge 40, Tyrоne Tоdd executed а will leаving his estate in three equal shares tо his children Abraham, Belle, and Catherine. Todd is now 80 years old and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's this year. He often suffers from confusion and sometimes does not recognize his children when they come to visit. On a recent visit, all three children sat down with Todd and attempted to talk to him about the possibility of entering an assisted living facility. Todd became angry and began to believe that his children had been replaced by imposters who wished him harm. As a result, he decided to revoke his will. He attempted to burn the will by throwing it into the fireplace, and the first couple of pages of the 20-page document were singed in the fire. Todd then became distracted and left the room. Later, a housekeeper picked up the singed pages of the will and returned them to a file folder in Todd’s office. Is Todd's will still valid?
Terri Turner hаs three children, Adаm, Brаndоn, and Cоurtney. Twо years ago, Turner executed a will leaving her estate to all three children in equal shares. One year ago, Turner became drawn into a group ("Alienated Politicians") dedicated to the idea that many elected officials had been secretly kidnapped and replaced by aliens intent on destroying the earth. Turner thereafter executed a second will leaving her children $1,000 each, with the remainder going to Alienated Politicians to support political candidates to challenge the elected officials that the group believed to be secret aliens. Shortly after executing the second will, Turner passed away. If the children want to challenge the will, what would likely be their strongest argument?

Trаvis Tоdd dedicаted his entire cаreer tо building a sоftware company renowned for its series of popular computer games. Although he never married or had children, he held a deep bond with his siblings Henry Hill (“Hill”), Ingrid Isler (“Isler”), and Jeff Johnson (“Johnson”). Hill passed away in 2013, leaving behind his widow but no children. In 2014, Isler died and left two children, Dawn and Edward. Johnson remains alive and has three children: Florence, George, and Henry. On July 1, 2015, Todd properly executed a will. In this will, he established a trust for Wilma Wilson (“Wilson”), the 65-year-old widow of his brother Henry Hill. This trust was to be funded with Apple stock that Todd had purchased decades ago, shortly after his first encounter with an Apple Macintosh computer. Johnson was named as trustee in the will, and Todd directed him to pay Wilson “as much of the income and, if the income proves insufficient, as much of the principal as may be required for her proper support and maintenance, for as long as she lives.” Upon Wilson’s death, the remainder of the trust principal would go to Case Western Reserve University. Todd bequeathed “the rest and residue of my estate to the surviving issue of my siblings, to be divided per stirpes.” Wilson’s monthly support needs total approximately $3,000. She has a pension and other sources of income that amount to $1,500 per month, and she has been making up the difference between her income and expenses by withdrawing from her savings. On July 1, 2021, Todd passed away. At that time, the trust was funded with Apple stock, valued at $500,000 at the time the trust was established. The remainder of Todd’s estate, consisting of various bank accounts and other investments, was worth $600,000. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, Johnson provided Wilson with $1,000 per month from the trust. During these years, he maintained the original investment allocation, and the trust generated approximately $30,000 of income annually. In 2025, Florence approached her father Johnson with a proposal to invest in a new startup food truck venture she was launching. Intrigued by the promising nature of the business, which he personally estimated to be worth around $2,000,000, Johnson sold $200,000 worth of Apple stock from the trust to acquire a 10% stake in Florence’s venture. He diligently recorded the change in investment within the trust’s records, noting that diversifying the trust principal across multiple business sectors was, in his judgment, a prudent decision. Johnson did not alter the amount he was disbursing to Wilson from the trust. However, Wilson expressed dissatisfaction with the shift in investment. She also asserted that she should have been entitled to a larger sum from the trust since its inception. Please analyze and thoroughly explain all four of the following: 1. How much money would each niece and nephew get under the will? 2. Is Wilson correct that she should have been allocated higher payments from the trust? 3. Did Johnson appropriately exercise his discretion in determining trust investments 4. If Wilson seeks to remove Johnson as trustee, is she likely to be successful?
