Estate of McGowan
This is an appeal from a judgment following a four-day court trial in a case involving a decedents will. It appears that appellant Helen K. McGowan Houston was seeking to have the will of her stepmother probated. Respondent Jan McEveety, the decedents natural daughter, opposed probate contending that the will was procured by the undue influence of appellant and appellants father. After considering the evidence, the trial court ordered the will revoked, finding that the will was procured by the strongest case of undue influence the court had ever seen and that the testimony of appellant was quite flawed.
Appellant has appealed and contends there was insufficient evidence to support the judgment and that the trial court incorrectly applied statutory law. Because we find that appellant has failed to meet her burden on appeal of providing both an adequate appellate brief and an adequate record from which Court can properly review her claims of error, Court affirm the judgment.
