Murrow v. Henson

GEER, Judge.

Plaintiffs Joanne H. Murrow and Rebecca H. Mathis appeal the order of the trial court dismissing their claim that defendants Nancy Henson and Bonnie Gallo maliciously caused their step-grandmother to execute a will that left plaintiffs only nominal be quests. We hold that plaintiffs’ complaint sufficiently states a claim for relief under Johnson v. Stevenson, 269 N.C. 200, 152 S.E.2d 214 (1967) and Griffin v. Baucom, 74 N.C. App. 282, 328 S.E.2d 38, disc. review denied, 314 N.C. 115, 332 S.E.2d 481 (1985) and, therefore, reverse the decision below.
