Description

This is a suit by Dulan Harlin against the independent executor of the estate of Henry English for damages based upon fraud. The trial court rendered summary judgment for the executor. The court of civil appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court and remanded the cause for trial. 604 S.W.2d 199. We reverse the judgment of the court of civil appeals and affirm the judgment of the trial court. For thirty-two years prior to 1971, Dulan Harlin was companion, confidant, and lover to Henry English. In return for care, companionship, and services, Harlin alleges English promised he had made her the beneficiary of a codicil to his will. This bequest was allegedly for $500,000.00 worth of jewelry and deeds found in a locked strongbox.
