“[s]imply by proving that he is their child and therefore a natural recipient of his parents’ bounty, Gardner has established an expectancy of inheriting a portion of his parents’ estate. Because he is their child, the existence vel non of a will is irrelevant to the issue whether an expectancy has been created.”
