Hobbs v. Winfield

Summary

The court affirmed the probate court’s determination that the testator’s will was revoked by the birth of his three children because the will did not contemplate future-born children. The reference to governmental survivor benefits for the testator’s “dependents” was insufficient to show that he had contemplated or provided for after-born children. The court also held that the estate administrator’s caveat was timely and that the administrator had standing to contest the will.
