Highlight

When a settlement agreement is wholly incorporated into a divorce judgment, the settlement is merged into the judgment and ceases to be independently viable.
Contracts to devise property are enforceable and become irrevocable upon the death of one of the parties.
An agreement to agree is enforceable if the essential terms of the agreement are reasonably certain and definite.
Contractual terms are reasonably certain and definite if they provide a basis for determining the existence of a breach and for giving an appropriate remedy.
