Both David and Dr. Cerasoli offered credible testimony confirming the information that Mr. Ettorre had given Mr. Wyler regarding David's care of Mr. Ettorre. David had lived for many years with Mr. Ettorre at Mr. Ettorre's residence prior to the execution of the 2013 [w]ill and assisted Mr. Ettorre with his care. Dr. Cerasoli, who also lives with an elderly parent, observed David's relationship with Mr. Ettorre over the years and believed that David did a "fabulous job" caring for him.
Dr. Robert Preim, Mr. Ettorre's primary care physician for sixteen years prior to his death, credibly testified that during the time period between May of 2012 and February 8, 2013, he made a house call to Mr. Ettorre during which he performed a mini mental status exam of him. Mr. Ettorre's score was [thirty] out of [thirty], a perfect score. Dr. Preim also credibly testified that Mr. Ettorre was always very outgoing, well spoken, smart and had a good sense of humor. He further credibly stated that he and Mr. Ettorre had a good relationship and that he never had any concerns about Mr. Ettorre's mental capabilities and faculties.
Dr. Preim confirmed that Mr. Ettorre did not have a good relationship with his daughters and was grateful to David for being his primary caregiver.
Having viewed the recording of Mr. Ettorre taken on February 8, 2013, Dr. Preim credibly opined that the recording depicted Mr. Ettorre free from mental disability and that he appeared as mentally sharp as he typically did when Dr. Preim would see him over the years.
Dr. Preim further credibly testified that Mr. Ettorre was a very strong willed person who would not succumb easily to someone else's influences.
