On February 19, 1988, decedent wrote a letter to Mr. Newman
regarding their meeting on February 18, 1988. Decedent decided
that he wanted Mr. Newman to be his attorney. Decedent requested
Mr. Newman to inform him, as soon as possible, of “all the
subtractions from an estate of approx. $4,000,000". Decedent
approved changing the 1988 proposed will to make Bar and Barney
executors and trustees. Decedent requested Mr. Newman’s
“business identification number” so he could fill out “Forms
1099”.
On February 22, 1988, decedent wrote a letter to Mr. Newman.
Decedent explained that Bar and his wife Charlene had come to
live in the Little House on Hundred Acres in the early 1980s to
take care of decedent and Jo. Although he felt they were not
“worth a damn” the first 3-1/2 years they lived on Hundred Acres,
they had “smartened up”. Decedent stated that Bar wanted to live
on Hundred Acres until he (Bar) died, so Jo and decedent wanted
Bar to inherit Hundred Acres, the buildings thereon, and the
vehicles and machinery decedent owned “in addition to his being
Executor and Trustee and an equal recipient of the residual
estate after taxes and expenses.” Decedent instructed Mr. Newman
to draft his will to reflect this change and to provide him with
a copy so he could study the draft, make notes on the draft, and
finalize the will.
