The court petition, which was recently made public, says that Elizabeth Banks disputed a March ruling that validated Banks&#8217; will. That will left all of his estate to his caregiver, Regina Rice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Tribune reported that Elizabeth Banks argued in the filing that Ernie\u2019s health was in a rapid state of decline since the preceding October when he was injured in a fall. Rice, who was a longtime friend to Ernie Banks, took him in to live with her at her home in Plainfield, Illinois while he was recovering.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Banks alleged in those March proceedings that Regina Rice coerced the ailing baseball legend and \u201cMr. Cub\u201d into making changes to his will to give Regina all of the assets. However, two paralegals testified in the case that Ernie had the capacity and was of sound mind during the notarization of the will changes. The witnesses also said Ernie also said to them that he didn\u2019t plan to leave money to his family.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regina Rice has told the media that Ernie\u2019s estate was worth a little more than $16,000 when he passed away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more on this story see a recent <em>Sporting News<\/em> article titled \u201c<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em>Estranged wife claims Ernie Banks had dementia when he signed will<\/em><\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that your estate plan is legal and solid, so that there are no conflicts over your assets.
