David Heyward had seven (7) sons and four (4) duaghters. He owned a 100-acre ranch in Arizona. He was born in what is now Slovakia, and cannot read or write English. All of his children have had frequent contact with David and assisted with his needs, especially after the death of his wife Amanda. However, his eldest son, George, advised his siblings that he would henceforth manage his father's business affairs. Further, after much urging from Georege, David deeded his entire ranch to George for $12, 750. Evidence showed that at the time of sale, the reasonable fair market value for the ranch was between $420,000 to $509,000.
