Syllabus

¶1 Appellant, Meka Oakley, appeals an Order Allowing Final Account, Determining Heirship, Final Decree of Distribution and Discharge entered by the trial court which included an Order denying Appellant's Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion to Admit Decedent's Holographic Last Will and Testament. The trial court refused to admit the holographic will to probate after the Parties stipulated to a report prepared by a handwriting expert who indicated that two letter \A's\ included in the holographic will were not written by the decedent. We have reviewed the record, the briefs, and applicable law, and find, in accordance with 84 O.S. § 54 , the holographic will at issue was not entirely written by the decedent and, therefore, was properly denied admission to probate by the trial court. The Order of the trial court is, therefore, affirmed.
