A dispute between the family of Ernie Banks and the woman who cared for him during his final years intensified Monday with his twin sons asserting that the caretaker coerced the Chicago Cubs baseball great into signing a new will giving her all his assets. In a statement released by their attorney, Jerry and Joey Banks said their father was ill at the time Regina Rice had him sign a power of attorney, a health care directive and a will giving everything to her. ''I find it quite interesting that she did not tell anyone that she had an attorney write up a new will,'' Jerry Banks said. Joey Banks said the family thought Rice was helping and watching over ''Mr. Cub'' while he was in Chicago.
