George Jr. is an only child, and his mother died when George Sr. was 70 years old. At that time, George Sr. created a new will (meeting all necessary legal requirements) leaving his entire estate worth $2.5 million to George Jr. Five years later, George Sr. is 75 years old and has developed dementia. After knowing each other only three months, George Sr. gets engaged in January 2012 to his dashing 40-year old in-home caregiver, Carmen. Within a week of their engagement, George Sr. executes a new will witnessed by Carmen and George Sr.'s housekeeper. This will states that Carmen is his wife [they are not yet legally married] and he leaves everything to Carmen. Explain any claims George Jr. might be able to assert in a will contest and describe any evidence that George Jr. should rely on in order to contest the January 2012 will. Will George Jr. will be successful?
