A widow sought to recover debts and interests owed to her by the estate

The will-maker and his widow made a Binding Financial Agreement before his death. Pursuant to this agreement, the widow was obliged to maintain a property that formed part of his estate and she sought to recover money from the estate for renovations made under this agreement. Furthermore, she requested that the estate’s one-half interest in the property be sold to her and that the estate pay her relevant costs.
