KAREN JURAN, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. DAVID EPSTEIN, Defendant and Respondent
23 Cal. App. 4th 882 · D016667
California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District · Filed
Holding
The court held that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because triable issues of fact existed concerning both the existence of an oral contract not to revoke a will and the equitable estoppel doctrine's application, which may preclude a party from asserting the statutory writing requirement as a defense.
