Grandma Pearl was sitting around the dinner table with her entire family on Sunday evening when she announced, Im going to leave all of you $$10,000$ respectively." The entire family screamed with jubilation, We accept! Everyone was elated and jumped and screamed for joy! Her grandson Jake was especially happy and announced to all of his friends at school. Her granddaughter Tiffany was also happy because now she could buy her books for college. Grandma Pearl immediately gave her granddaughter Tiffany the $$10,000.$ Upon checking her retirement and assets statements, Grandma Pearl realized that shed lost too much money in the stock market and could no longer afford to give any more money. Although she intended to still pay Jake, she reluctantly called a family meeting and recanted her promise to pay the other grandchildren the $$10,000.$ Grandma Pearl took a nap and passed away peacefully in her sleep before she paid Jake his $$10,000.$ Jake asked his attorney whether he could claim against Grandma Pearls estate for breach of contract and recover the $$10,000.$
