The appeal is dismissed because the appellant failed to prove a breach of the deceased's moral duty: the Judge reasonably balanced the undenied long‑term benefits the appellant received from living at home (financial and non‑financial) against the later sacrifices, noted the modest estate and competing claims, and correctly required and relied upon the absence of sufficient evidence quantifying detriment or need.
