Syllabus

<p>Wills — Testamentary character of paper — Evidence.</p> <p>1. A paper in the following form is not testamentary in character: “I want you, E. A. Kerr, to look after my property and if I don’t sell it, I will sign it over to you for taking care of me.” Such a paper does not indicate any intention or purpose on the part of the maker to thereby make a disposition of his property after his death.</p> <p>2. As the paper is absolutely free from ambiguity on its face, extrinsic evidence as to the maker’s intention, is inadmissible.</p>
