He suffered from Huntington’s Disease and said that he only realised what he had signed away when the effects of the painkillers wore off days later and then he tried to rescind the contract.
As per People, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Joseph Lipner said, “Westcott presented no persuasive evidence that he lacked capacity into a real estate contract.”
