Holding

The court held that an oral agreement between a decedent and his niece, wherein she promised to care for him for life in exchange for his entire estate, was sufficiently definite, supported by adequate consideration, and not rendered unenforceable by the statute of frauds or public policy concerns, and thus the estate was properly impressed with a constructive trust in her favor.
