Newman had redrawn decedent’s will, per decedent’s request, and
enclosed a copy for his review.
On May 12, 1993, decedent wrote a letter to Mr. Newman.
Decedent wrote: “I was trying to show how and why grandson
Barney Peter Aronson (let’s use his full name instead of his
middle initial) would inherit so as to maintain my monument. The
previous Wills--1991--needed to be changed to show one Executor
and one inheritor, grandson Barney Peter Aronson.” Decedent
enclosed a revised copy of the 1991 will, with alterations
decedent made to the language of the 1991 will, as a guide for
Mr. Newman. Decedent instructed Mr. Newman to prepare him a new
will, incorporating decedent’s changes, and to submit it to him
to review. Decedent’s revisions to the 1991 will, in relevant
part, were as follows:
SECOND: I hereby give, devise and bequeath my
real property (which shall include my residence which I
refer to as “Hundred Acres” should my wife, JOSEPHINE
R. ARONSON, hereinafter referred to as “JO,” predecease
me), my vehicles and machinery to my grandson, BARNEY
P. ARONSON. It is hereby stipulated that no changes or
alterations in the structure or the general make-up of
the “Big House” on Hundred Acres shall ever be made.
THIRD: I hereby create a Trust and give into it
all the rest, residue and remainder of my property of
every kind and nature and wheresoever situate, such to
be held secure for division among “JO’s” biologic
descendants as described below, if she survives me, and
if so, “JO” is to receive all the dividends and
interest income from such assets as long as she lives,
and upon her death this Trust will then be liquidated
and the proceeds divided as described below among
