OPINION OF THE COURT

LARRY M. HIMELEIN, J.

The issue presented by this case is whether summary judgment may be granted to an estate, over the objectants' claims of fraud and undue influence, when an attorney prepares a will that leaves the bulk of the testator's estate to a charity that the attorney represents in its legal matters and also serves as Chairman of the charity's Board of Directors.
