Lorraine Romans, Testator, died from a lingering illness and in her will left some sealed boxes of family heirlooms to her daughter, Zrillic (P). The residue and remainder of the estate was given to the Shriners Hospitals (D). The bequest to P was specifically limited because of P's failure to support the Testator during her illness and her overall disapproval of P's promiscuous lifestyle. P contested the will under a Florida mortmain statute that nullified wills that disinherit descendants in favor of charities if the will was drafted less than six months before the testator's death. The circuit court held the statute unconstitutional. The court of appeals reversed. D appealed.
