Question: Elvis Presley, a well-known singer and entertainer, was a wealthy person. When engaged to Ginger Alden, he promised Alden's mother, Jo Laverne Allen, to pay off the remaining mortgage debt on the Alden home. However, Presley died before he had the chance to pay off the mortgage. The legal representative of Presley's estate refused to follow through on the promise to pay the mortgage debt amounting to around $40,000. Jo Laverne Alden sued the Presley estate to enforce Presley's promise. Was Presley's promise to pay the mortgage enforceable against the estate? (Alden v. Presley, 637 S.W.2d 862)
