Matter of Antoinette

In Matter of Antoinette, 238 AD2d 762 (3rd Dept., 1997), the Court found that the confluence of many factors, including decedent's relationship with proponent and her longstanding attorney, her lack of involvement in financial matters, the radical alteration of her testamentary disposition and decedent's uncertainty and lack of understanding of some of her financial transactions demonstrated motive, opportunity and actual influence by proponent, defeating summary judgment.
