Upon graduating from college, Kathy announced her plans to enter law school the following fall and to marry Rick in December. Kathy's father was afraid that marriage during her first year in law school might cause her to fall behind in her studies or cause her to drop out of school. He called Kathy and promised her $10,000 if she postponed her wedding until after completion of her first year of law school. Kathy agreed and postponed the wedding for a year. Kathy successfully completed her first year of law school, but soon thereafter, Kathy's father died. The administrator of her father's estate claimed she was not entitled to the $10,000 because there was no consideration for her father's promise. If Kathy sues the estate, she will probably be?

Kathy postponed her marriage with Rick for a year till she completes her first year of law school because Kathy's father promised her $10,000 to her f she postpones her marriage for a year.

But soon after Kathy completes her first year in law school her father died before giving Kathy $10,000 as he promised. But the administrator says that there was no consideration for her father's promise so she will not be entitled to $10,000.

Now if Kathy sues the estate, Kathy will probably be successful in suing the estate because there was a consideration as Kathy's father promised her for $10,000 if she postpones. So she can sue the estate.

Thus the answer is --

successful, as there was consideration
