During а trip tо Cаnаda tо celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary, Andrew Alexander (“Alexander”) and Brittany Brice (“Brice”) became extremely ill with an infectiоus disease. As a result, both were quarantined together in the same hospital room. Because of the seriousness of the disease and the ample time on their hands, both decided that they wanted to update their wills. Because of the quarantine, and because neither of them was excited about paying a lawyer to help them with this process, Alexander downloaded pre-written form documents from the Internet on his electronic tablet computer to allow each of them to draft a will. The forms were generic and were not designed to comply with the law of any particular jurisdiction. Alexander and Brice then filled out the documents with their intended testamentary disposition of their property. Because they did not have access to a printer, Alexander and Brice handwrote all of the information that they entered into the form documents using an electronic stylus pen, rather than typing the information. Because of the lack of space on the form documents, Alexander and Brice drafted a separate electronic document that contained a handwritten memorandum describing their property using the electronic stylus pen. Both Alexander’s will and Brice’s will contained a reference to this document, which was eventually kept in the same electronic folder with the two wills on the electronic tablet computer’s hard drive. The couple’s wills were mirror images of each other. Each spouse left the other spouse their entire estate. In the event that either spouse predeceased the other spouse, then each spouse left their entire estate to three mutual friends—Carlos Carter (“Carter”), Daria Dunst (“Dunst”), and Enrique Erickson (“Erickson”). Under such circumstances, Carter, Dunst, and Erickson were to split the estate in equal shares. In accordance with the instructions that they found online, which were relatively vague and not specific to any particular jurisdiction, Alexander and Brice executed the documents using the electronic stylus pen to sign. Unfortunately, Alexander executed Brice’s will, and Brice executed Alexander’s will. No one at the signing noticed this error. Alexander and Brice asked two nurses, Frieda Franklin (“Franklin”) and Gill Grant (“Grant”), to witness the execution of the will. Interestingly, Grant is Durst’s husband. Franklin stepped outside the room during the signing of the will to obtain some medicine for Alexander and Brice, but she could hear what was occurring during the signing process as Alexander, Brice, and Grant signed the wills using the electronic stylus pen. She then returned to the room and signed the document herself using the stylus pen as well. Alexander signed the will only using the nickname “Astro”, which is how he commonly referred to himself. Discuss whether and to what extent Alexander has executed a legally enforceable will. Please thoroughly explain your answer. If you need additional facts, please explain what those facts are and why they would be important to your answer. Do not address whether Brice has executed a legally enforceable will.
In her will, Sаmаnthа Stella left 100 shares оf a pоpular sоcial-media company to be held in trust for her eighteen-year-old granddaughter Alison. Stella named Alison's father Weston as the trustee, and he agreed to serve. The trust agreement, drafted by Stella's lawyer before her death, contained a provision that “The trustee shall be held harmless from any liability for any action he or she may take, or for the failure of such trustee to take any action.” Weston knew that Stella had loved keeping up with friends and family through social media, so he never sold any of the stock. He also held the stock because the company was extraordinarily profitable. Four years later, however, the company was bought by an eccentric billionaire with no management skills. The company immediately went bankrupt. When she realized that her trust was now worthless, Alison sued her father. What is the most likely result?
