Estate of Thompson , 2008 ND 144,
The existence of an oral contract is a question of fact.
An agreement for the sale of real property is invalid unless the agreement is in writing and subscribed by the party to be charged.
In the absence of a written agreement, a court may compel specific performance of any agreement for the sale of real property if there is part performance.
Part performance of an oral contract for the sale of land which exempts the contract from the statute of frauds and entitles a party to specific performance must be proven by evidence that it is clear and unequivocal and which leaves no doubt as to the terms, character, and existence of the contract.

Estate of Elken , 2007 ND 107, 735 N.W.2d 842
The term "includes" in a statutory definition is a word of enlargement and not a term of limitation.
A reasonably ascertainable creditor entitled to actual notice of the time for making a claim against a decedent's estate is a creditor that a personal representative can uncover with reasonably diligent efforts.
Estate of Stave , 2007 ND 53, 729 N.W.2d 706
In a proceeding to contest a will, four elements must be proven to establish undue influence: 1) a testator subject to undue influence; 2) the existence of the opportunity to exercise undue influence; 3) a disposition to exercise undue influence; and 4) a result that appears to be the effect of undue influence.
For the issue of undue influence to be submitted to a jury, the evidence must be sufficient with regard to each essential element of the claim and the evidence must also create more than just a mere suspicion of undue activity.
Estate of Carlson , 2007 ND 35, 728 N.W.2d 337
A North Dakota court has no subject matter jurisdiction to grant or deny a motion to substitute a party in an action or proceeding in another state.

Whenever services are rendered by one family member for another, a presumption arises that the services are gratuitous and that compensation was not intended, and a claimant has the burden to rebut the presumption by proof that the services were not gratuitous, which may be established by proof that the parties expressly or impliedly agreed the claimant would be compensated.
Estate of Richmond , 2005 ND 145, 701 N.W.2d 897
If the evidence presented in opposition to a motion for summary judgment is of insufficient caliber or quantity to allow a rational finder of fact to find fraud by clear and convincing evidence, there is no genuine issue of material fact.
Fraud is never presumed, even under circumstances that give rise to a suspicion of fraud.
Estate of Littlejohn , 2005 ND 113, 698 N.W.2d 923

Duemeland v. Norback , 2003 ND 1, 655 N.W.2d 76

Estate of Dion , 2001 ND 53, 623 N.W.2d 720
An assertion that an action is one against a political subdivision and that prospective jurors are taxpayers of the political subdivision is insufficient in itself to effect a change of venue.
A court has no power to order a person to execute a will.
For the issue of undue influence to be submitted to a jury, the evidence must create more than just a mere suspicion of undue activity.

Estate of Lutz , 2000 ND 226, 620 N.W.2d 589
Whether services performed by a family member are so exceptional and extraordinary as to imply a contract to pay for those services is a question of fact.
Lack of legal advice to a prospective spouse to obtain independent counsel is a significant factor in weighing the voluntariness of a premarital agreement, but the presence of independent counsel is not a prerequisite to enforceability.
Separate statutes under the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act govern unconscionability at the time the agreement was executed, unconscionability at the time of separation or marital dissolution, and unconscionability that may result from enforcement at any time, including the time of death.
A spouse can waive any right of inheritance and succession in a valid and enforceable premarital agreement and consent to will.
Attorney fees are not allowed to a successful litigant unless expressly authorized by statute or agreement.
Estate of Sagmiller , 2000 ND 151, 615 N.W.2d 567
Speculation on whether a different mode of sale may have brought a better price does not support a finding of commercial unreasonableness.

ND Dept. of Human Services v. Brenden , 2000 ND 155, 615 N.W.2d 538

If no notice to creditors is either mailed or published, the time for original presentation of claims is three years after the decedent's death.
A copy of a petition beginning probate proceedings and list of legatees, surviving joint tenants, and heirs at law sent to the Department of Human Services is not a notice to creditors.
Estate of Robinson , 2000 ND 90, 609 N.W.2d 745
A presumption of undue influence arises upon the finding a confidential relationship existed between the decedent and a beneficiary; the beneficiary bears the burden of rebutting the presumption. Whether undue influence existed is a question of fact, and trial court's findings will not be set aside unless clearly erroneous.
ND Dept. of Human Services v. Caroline , 2000 ND 59, 607 N.W.2d 882
The Department of Human Services may recover Medicaid benefit payments from assets transferred by the Medicaid recipient to a surviving spouse and traceable to the surviving spouse's estate.

An obligation to repay medical assistance benefits arises upon receipt of the benefits.
Estate of Wieland , 1998 ND 130, 581 N.W.2d 140
A trial court does not abuse its descretion in denying a N.D.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(ii) motion to vacate the distribution of an estate when the movant fails to show the alleged new evidence would change the outcome.
Estate of Zimmerman , 1998 ND 116, 579 N.W.2d 591
A prenuptial agreement is not a valid written waiver of a surviving spouse's right to an elective share when it does not waive "all rights," or contain equivalent language, in the property or estate of the prospective spouse, and when it does not contain a "complete property settlement."
A decedent's will that leaves a spouse "the legal minimum required by law" entitles the surviving spouse to an elective share of the augmented estate.
Estate of Neshem , 1998 ND 57, 574 N.W.2d 883
Where a testatrix's will devises property to her issue and designates her stepson as "our son," the will, when construed as a whole to give meaning to that designation and to the definition of "issue," expresses the testatrix's intent to treat her stepson's children as her issue and as devisees under her will.
Estate of Stensland , 1998 ND 37, 574 N.W.2d 203
The right to appeal is jurisdictional, and may be considered by the court on its own initiative.
In an unsupervised probate, an order leaving interrelated claims unsettled is not final under NDCC 28-27-02 and is not appealable.
Estate of Wenzel-Mosset v. Nickels , 1998 ND 16, 575 N.W.2d 425
The presumption raised by a confidential relationship applies to transactions changing ownership of bank accounts.
A civil conspiracy cannot exist when the underlying claims fail, leaving no wrongful act.
Estate of Schmidt , 1997 ND 244, 572 N.W.2d 430
The dismissal of an appeal makes the judgment final and res judicata.
When construing a trust instrument, our primary objective is to ascertain the settlor's intent.
When a trust instrument is unambiguous, the settlor's intent is ascertained from the language of the trust document itself.
Perry v. Reinke , 1997 ND 213, 570 N.W.2d 224
The district court did not err in denying a motion for judgment as a matter of law because reasonable minds could conclude will was not what testator, in her own mind, would have intended.
The district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied motion for new trial based on the weight of the evidence and on newly discovered evidence.
Estate of Lutz , 1997 ND 82, 563 N.W.2d 90
Summary judgment of spouse's creditor claim against decedent's estate for services is inappropriate when factual disputes exist whether spouse has overcome the presumption that familial services are gratuitous. Summary judgment of spouse's elective share claim based on waiver by premarital agreement is inappropriate when factual disputes exist whether the agreement was procedurally enforceable if spouse was not advised by decedent's attorney about need for independent counsel or about the effect of consent to dual representation, and whether it was substantively unconscionable under the circumstances. Although unconscionability of a premarital agreement is a question of law for the court, a conclusion of unconscionability necessarily turns on factual findings often precluding summary judgment.
Klamm v. Moffett , 1997 ND 78, 563 N.W.2d 375
Judgment of eviction is affirmed. The record reveals evidence that defendant received sufficient service of process and that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's motion to dismiss the eviction action.
Estate of Peterson , 1997 ND 48, 561 N.W.2d 618
The district court properly accomplished the testator's intent of equal distribution by ordering unequal distribution of the probate estate, so each of the nine beneficiaries would, in fact, share equally when the amounts distributed from the testator's P.O.D. accounts were considered in conjunction with their share from the probate estate. The district court did not err in approving payment of the personal representative's fees and attorney fees from the estate. The personal representative did not breach her fiduciary duty by failing to invest the funds from a certificate of deposit in an interest bearing account.
Estate of Zimmerman , 1997 ND 58, 561 N.W.2d 642
In unsupervised probate proceedings, a court order disposing of a spouse's claim against her deceased husband's estate is not appealable without a Rule 54(b) certification when the spouse has other claims pending against the estate.
Mangnall v. Adams , 1997 ND 19, 559 N.W.2d 221
Where the parties' pleadings raised inextricably entwined issues about the relationship between a trustee's responsibilities and liabilities as trustee and as guardian to a ward who was a settlor of the trust, the trial court should have decided all of those issues in one proceeding.
Estate of Brown , 1997 ND 11, 559 N.W.2d 818
A testamentary group gift of an amount that a decedent's estate may claim under the unified credit of Federal Estate and Gift Tax law unambiguously intended the amount remaining after lifetime and non-probate transfers were taken into account. The trial court's conclusion that the gift was an ambiguous formula gift of the amount up to the full unified credit that left nothing for the will's residual charitable beneficiaries was reversible error.
Estate of Opatz , 554 N.W.2d 813 (N.D. 1996)
Under Section 30.1-10-01(4)(a), N.D.C.C., the right to renounce property is barred only by an encumbrance against the property created by the disclaimant, not a third-party.
Neither a judgment lien, nor service of a garnishment summons against a devisee created encumbrances which barred the devisee's right to renounce her interest in the devised property.
Estate of Murphy , 554 N.W.2d 432 (N.D. 1996)
Absent a novation or consent by the payee, the partial assignment of an obligation by the deceased does not reduce the obligation of the deceased's estate to the payee.
The trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to join a party who was neither indispensable nor necessary to the action, and any error in the timing of the court's ruling was harmless.
An award of attorney's fees must be authorized by contract or statute.
Estate of Nelson , 553 N.W.2d 771 (N.D. 1996)
The trial court did not clearly err in finding the decedent lacked capacity to change ownership of his property to joint tenancy with right of survivorship in his son.
Petition for Supervision of Diocese of Bismarck Trust , 553 N.W.2d 222 (N.D. 1996)
The purpose of the rules restricting filing of discovery materials with the court is to alleviate storage problems, and the court has discretion in accepting discovery documents.
A charitable trust is a matter of public concern, and no harm was caused by the court allowing the filing of a prehearing brief and appendix in a trust dispute after the hearing was canceled.
Estate of Powers , 552 N.W.2d 785 (N.D. 1996)
The non-claim statute, Section 30.1-19-03, N.D.C.C., does not bar a person from disputing title to property alleged to be included in an estate.
A person's assertion of rights under a specific bequest provision of a will is not a 'claim' against an estate for purposes of the non-claim statute.
Estate of Luken , 551 N.W.2d 794 (N.D. 1996)
After electing to take his share of his deceased spouse's augmented estate, the surviving spouse failed to rebut the statutory presumption that his property was derived from his deceased spouse. The trial court, therefore, did not err in allowing the value of the surviving spouse's business to be included in the augmented estate.
The trial court's valuation of the business was not clearly erroneous.
The trial court erred by not including in the augmented estate the value of several individual retirement accounts the decedent made payable to her children.
Estate of Wagner , 551 N.W.2d 292 (N.D. 1996)
A will contestant must prove testamentary incapacity by a preponderance of the evidence rather than by clear and convincing evidence.
The trial court capacity when she signed a codicil to her will was not clearly erroneous.
