Syllabus

<p>Wills—Nuncupative Will—Requisites-—Intent. Verbal instructions for a will or words spoken at the time of signing a writing intended as a written will cannot be proven as a nuncupative will, upon its appearing that the written will was not properly executed, there being ample time therefor; since there must be an intent to make an oral will, under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1330, requiring the testator to bid some person present to bear witness, at the time of pronouncing the same, that such was his will.</p>
