The following excerpt is from Danielson v. Puddicombe Estate, 2001 ABQB 402 (CanLII):
This case is far removed from those cases (the classic being Deglman v. Guaranty Trust, 1954 CanLII 2 (SCC), [1954] S.C.R. 725) where an agreement to confer a benefit by will was clearly made in exchange for valuable services for which it is just the provider be compensated when the agreement is not carried out.
