Requirements of a Will. Katherine Hagan executed a will that left her estate to various charitable organizations, such as the Humane Society, and expressly excluded her relatives.

When Hagan died, her estate was worth $1.48 million.

Janice Benjamin and other Hagan relatives objected to the will. They argued that it was invalid because Hagan had not been of “sound mind” and that the funds should pass to them by intestacy. Should the will be declared void? Why or why not? [Benjamin v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 305 S.W.3d 446 (Ky.App. 2010)] (See pages 958–959.)
