Holding
The court held that the trial court's finding that a decedent's transfer of personal property to a caretaker created an oral trust for the benefit of his surviving spouse, rather than a gift causa mortis, was supported by substantial evidence and that upon the spouse's death, the trust terminated and legal title properly vested in the decedent's estate.
