The twin sons of Ernie Banks contend that his agent and caretaker "coerced" the Chicago Cubs great into signing a new will giving her all his assets.
Jerry Banks says in a statement Monday that Regina Rice did not tell the family she had an attorney write up a new will.
Joey Banks says the family thought Rice was helping and watching over "Mr. Cub" while he was in Chicago. He says Rice had him sign a power of attorney, a health care directive and a will giving everything to her.
Attorney Mark Bogen says the family "will vigorously fight and contest this will." Estranged wife Elizabeth Banks has gone to court to prevent Rice from having Banks' remains cremated. Efforts to contact Rice and her attorney have been unsuccessful.
