Holding
The court held that the evidence was insufficient to establish that Deborah H. Lee created either a valid gift *causa mortis* or an express trust in forty shares of building and loan association stock for the benefit of Gennis H. Learned, as the decedent’s words and actions did not indicate with reasonable certainty an intention to relinquish her beneficial interest or control over the property during her lifetime.
