(plaintiff was a tenure-track law professor earning $100,000 per year; defendant father owned substantial tracts of ranchland that was mismanaged by his son; the father asked the daughter to assess the status of his operation; she cleaned up many financial problems and oversaw a civil action against her brother, who had embezzled from the business; after the daughter began devoting more and more time to managing the business, she alleged that her father told her that if she moved to the ranch, he would bequeath her property worth more than one million dollars; the daughter alleged that she left her job and moved her family to the ranch in reliance on that promise; several years later, a dispute arose and the father told the daughter that her services were no longer needed; after the father disinherited the daughter, she filed a promissory estoppel claim against him, seeking damages stemming from leaving her job in reliance upon the promise of a substantial inheritance; in reversing the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the father, the court ruled that a reasonable fact finder could have found that the daughter reasonably relied on the father’s promise and that the father could have reasonably anticipated that reliance; the court also held that there need not be misrepresentation for promissory estoppel).
