In Re: Last Will and Testament of Mary Theresse Erde

Syllabus

This is a will contest. The trial court denied Appellant's motion to set aside its order admitting Decedent's will to probate and, subsequently, struck Appellant's motion to amend his counter-petition because such amendment would be futile. The trial court additionally found that Decedent possessed testamentary capacity to execute a holographic will, and that although there was a confidential relationship between Decedent and Beneficiary, Beneficiary provided clear and convincing evidence to rebut the presumption of undue influence. Discerning no error, we affirm.

Judges: Presiding Judge J. Steven Stafford
