Question

Sally's grandmother, Laura, promised in her will to make Sally an heir to her home if she would move into Laura's home and care for her. Sally agreed to this and moved into Laura's home. But when Laura died, her will named Bob, a family friend, as heir to her home. Is Sally legally entitled to the home?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes, Sally is legally entitled to the home

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question in regards to the situation at hand, we can say that yes, Sally is legally entitled to the home. This is because with the verbal agreement that Sally made with Laura, she was granted consideration in exchange for helping and caring for her. This is a legal term describing value that is interchanged between two parties. Which in this case the value is caring and helping Laura in exchange for being named an heir to her home.
