Published · citable
Holding
The court held that a document executed by a gravely ill testatrix four days before her death did not create a valid inter vivos trust because it failed for lack of delivery and because the testatrix lacked the requisite intent to effect a present transfer of property, having signed the instrument under a material mistake of fact regarding its contents.
