Files
Excerpt
Joann Putnam went to her grave with the comfort of knowing she had entered into a binding contract with her husband, Edgar Putnam, to protect and provide for her son, Robert Blackburn, and the couple’s five children. In November 1985, six months before Joann’s death, Joann and Edgar had executed mutual wills. These were not simply mirror wills.
