After fоur lоng yeаrs, Pippi finаlly cоmpleted her bаchelor’s degree in engineering. Since her studies were over, she could finally play her violin more often than when she was in college. For her Aunt Joy’s 75th birthday, Pippi organized a surprise birthday party for her aunt, and she also played several songs on her violin. Afterwards, Aunt Joy walked up to her and gave Pippi a big hug. When she asked Pippi how things were going, Pippi looked down at her feet and admitted that she had spent about three months sending out resumes since her graduation. Although she had gone on several interviews, she had not received a job offer yet. “What about your music?” Aunt Joy asked Pippi. “You are so talented. I had tears in my eyes whenever I hear you play your lovely violin.” Pippi responded, “I can’t pay for my college debt on a musician’s salary.” A problem-solver by nature, Aunt Joy hugged Pippi again and said, “We’ll figure something out.” A week later, Pippi received an invitation for dinner at Aunt Joy’s house. “I’ve been thinking a lot about your situation, and I have a couple of ideas.” Aunt Joy told Pippi. “As you know, I have a nice inheritance from your uncle after his death. I own a little cottage in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and I think that place would be perfect for you to practice your violin uninterrupted, unlike your small apartment. I have prepared a document for you to review and sign, if you are willing.” Pippi’s eyes widened and her face lit up as she read the document. It was a one-year option agreement to purchase Aunt Joy’s Lake Geneva’s property and stated: “In consideration of $1-dollar, receipt hereby acknowledged.” Although Pippi did not pay Aunt Joy $1, she immediately accepted the offer by picking up the pen and signing next to Aunt Joy’s signature on the option agreement. “Let’s discuss my next solutions,” Aunt Joy told Pippi in a matter-of-fact tone. “Over the last several months, you have helped me out tremendously by coming over to my house faithfully every Saturday to clean my kitchen and living room and I have been paying you $50 each week for that,” Aunt Joy continued, “but you need much more than that so I will increase that to $100 a week instead if you can still find the time to do this for me on Saturdays. Also, would you accept $25 for organizing my bookcase a week ago?” “Of course,” Pippi responded and smiled because she knew her aunt always followed through and paid her when she promised. Aunt Joy continued, “I saved the best part for last. You know I appreciate and love you, and as a token of my appreciation, I will give you $1,500 so you can attend those violin lessons from that famous violinist that you keep talking about.” Pippi thanked her Aunt Joy profusely and immediately purchased a new violin at a cost of $2,000. Sadly, Aunt Joy had a stroke a week later and Damien (the guardian of her estate) refused to pay Pippi. Discuss all legal theories Pippi may have to sue Damien, guardian of Aunt Joy’s estate. Discuss any arguments Damien could raise that this was not an enforceable contract.
