In plaintiff's petition in probate court against his sister and brother-in-law alleging tortious interference with his inheritance expectancy, probate court's order sustaining without leave to amend defendants' demurrer is affirmed as, because plaintiff had an adequate remedy in probate to assert his fraud/undue influence claim against defendants, under the present circumstances, a cause of action in tort of interference with an expected inheritance will not be recognized.
