Syllabus

<p>WILLS — LATENT AMBIGUITY- — ADMISSIBILITY OP PAROL EVIDENCE TO EXPLAIN.</p> <p>Where a will is certain in its terms as to the property devised, the character of the uevise, and the person of the devisee, extrinsic evidence is not admissible to change or add to its terms; and the mere fact that the testator failed to dispose of all of his realty oy will would not create such an ambiguity as to warrant the introduction of parol testimony to show his intent to devise the omitted land to the person to whom the adjoining tract had been devised.</p>
