The son and the daughter were suing each other over their deceased mother's estate. A prima facie case of undue influence had been proven. Therefore, the Estate was responsible for all of the $67,661.93 incurred in counsel fees because the other issues raised in the New Jersey litigation were intertwined with the will contest and because it therefore could "fairly be said" that all of the fees were related to the will contest. In Re Estate of Vayda, New Jersey Ch. Div., September 19, 2005
