Holding

The court held that a complaint seeking recovery under a quasi-contractual theory for the value of a claim foregone in reliance on an unenforceable oral promise to provide by will fails to state a cause of action, as the alleged conduct does not give rise to an implied promise and the claim is barred by the statute of limitations.
