Hazel is 84, and suffers from debilitating arthritis. Sometimes, she can barely walk. Every time Hazel has been unable to get around, her neighbor Ruth cooks and cleans for her until she feels better. Hazel has offered to pay Ruth, but Ruth always declines. One day when Hazel is feeling well, she and Ruth eat out in a restaurant, and Hazel tells Ruth she is going to give her $50,000 within the year. Ruth continues to cook and clean for Hazel, and even gives up another job to continue helping Hazel. Six months later, Hazel dies without paying Ruth and without leaving a will. Can Ruth successfully sue Hazel’s estate for $50,000? State the legal reasons for your answer. In the alternative, let us say that, instead of paying Ruth or putting Ruth in her will, Hazel creates and records a deed to her mansion with both herself and Ruth as grantees. Does it make a difference whether they are listed as joint tenants with rights of survivorship or as tenants in common? What are the differences in the owners’ rights and obligations between the types of ownership?
