<p>I found the case I was thinking of in the personal property section of my outline. Marston v. Rue from 1916, where it refers to a husband's gift to a mistress as being void (and upheld the wife's sale of a car under her emergency powers). There's also
the more recent case of Francis v. Francis, from 1978. Note I have not re-read either case, but they do seem to deal with gifts based on my notes.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am striking out finding case law in WA dealing with a bargain sale or gift of highly appreciated property for a pittance ($10) of community property without knowledge of spouse or children of the couple; this purported transaction occurred
2 years before H’s death. I have an estate where H &W lived in AZ and two years prior to H’s death he purported to make a bargain sale of highly appreciated property in WA to a non-family member without knowledge of W or the children of the marriage. You
can imagine the uproar and issues of capacity and undue influence. Any case law or thoughts is appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
