Text: Dixie's daughter Edith testified that she had visited her mother and stepfather (Vernard) about every two months during the last year of her mother's life, and that Vernard seemed to resent the fact that he had the care of Dixie. She stated that her mother required a lot of care; Vernard cared for her part of the time, as did Edith and one of the nieces. Edith stated that Vernard resented her (Edith) as well; the resentment stemmed from Dixie having placed some Tennessee property she owned (in which Vernard had no interest) in trust for her grandchildren, and also from Dixie having deeded Edith's father's estate to Edith. Edith stated a will of her mother's made prior to November of 1981 had left her something more than $1.00. Edith testified that Vernard had expressed concern that everything is in your's and your mother's name; you will kick me out when she dies. Edith stated that she had assured him that she would leave him completely alone if Dixie died before he did. Edith stated that she had known nothing of the November 1981 wills and trust agreement until after her mother's death.
