In Re Estate Of Bunde

2002 WL 737781 (Mich.App.2002)

Facts

P alleged that Bunde made three promises to her during his lifetime, which induced P to move in with Bunde and work with him in his bakery: (1) We will be partners and work together in the bakery. (2) You will never have to worry about having enough money to take care of yourself. (3) I am going to live forever. But, if I die first, you will have this home (at 370 Blue Star Highway) forever. P lived with Bunde until his death in January 1999 and worked in the bakery with him until 1996, when it was sold. P contends the promises formed an enforceable contract to which Bunde's estate should be held. D was granted its motion for dismissal. P appealed.
