Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Contract — To Make a Will — Consideration. The words “to stay with and care for,” used to express the consideration of a contract to make a will, have no fixed legal signification. In the light of the situation and circumstances of the contracting parties in this case they may well indicate personal association, care and attention, not including the furnishing of groceries, other necessaries and medical attention; and'the parties themselves having so interpreted the contract that will be accepted as the true meaning. .</p> <p>2. - Specific Performance. Under the facts of this case a contract of the kind indicated, whereby the will if made would devise la-nd worth $2300 subject to debts to the amount of $600, is not inequitable and will be specifically enforced although the promisor lived and enjoyed the consideration for only eighteen months.</p>
