McMILLIN, C.J., for the court.

¶ 1. The case before the Court presents the question of the enforceability of a contract for sale of land entered into, but not finally closed, prior to the property owner's death. Depending on the resolution of that issue, there is a possible second issue involving entitlement to the sales proceeds in light of the particular terms of the deceased property owner's will relating to the property.
