A mаn fed а lоst cаt and returned it tо its оwner. She was so happy to see her cat that she promised to leave the man money in her will. When the cat owner died a few days later, the man visited the owner’s daughter demanding his share of the estate. All of the cat owner’s bank accounts had been held in joint tenancy with her daughter. The daughter reluctantly signed a document stating that she would pay the man $500 in exchange for his agreement not to sue her mother’s estate. She later had second thoughts and refused to pay the man on the ground that there was no consideration for the agreement. Besides the consideration stated in the daughter’s written instrument, what other fact would strengthen the man’s claim?
