CHICAGO -- A court filing by the estranged wife of Chicago Cubs great Ernie Banks contends the Hall of Famer was diagnosed with dementia days before he signed a will benefiting his caretaker.

Banks was in a protracted divorce proceeding with fourth wife Elizabeth Banks when he died in January at age 83. She is challenging a will that gives his assets to caretaker Regina Rice.
