Riganti v. McElhinney

Holding

The court held that an oral contract to make a will, though ordinarily unenforceable under the statute of frauds, may be enforced in equity through quasi-specific performance where the promisee has rendered services of such a peculiar character that their value cannot be estimated by a pecuniary standard and a refusal to enforce the contract would result in a fraud upon the promisee and unjust enrichment of the devisee.
