In Re Estate of Dawson Lewis

Syllabus

The petitioners filed a petition to probate the will of the decedent. The will offered for probate had markings on the provisions concerning the appointment of executors to the will and the payment of the head stone. The petitioners filed an affidavit stating that they had no knowledge concerning who made the markings on the decedent's will. The Trial Court entered an order denying the petition to probate the will, finding that the markings on the will \negated it from being accepted to Probate\ and that the decedent had, therefore, died intestate. The petitioners appealed. We reverse the judgment of the Trial Court and remand for the decedent's will to be admitted to probate.

Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
