Mikhailov proposed to the elderly Markova

Mikhailov suggested that the elderly Markova enter into a life-long maintenance contract with him on the condition that he would be transferred to her apartment after Markova’s death, and if he was refused, he would threaten to kill her. Unable to withstand the pressure exerted, Markova agreed to conclude a contract. Mikhailov, with the draft agreement prepared, brought Markova to the notary Klimova, who, making sure the form of the documents presented was correct, asked Markova whether she knew the terms of the agreement and whether she agreed with them, and received an affirmative answer without notarizing the clauses of the agreement notarized him.
