Estate of Williams
In this probate case, Eric Williams Towle, the biological son of the decedent, Homer Eugene Williams, appeals from orders admitting to probate a holographic will offered by the decedents stepdaughter, Deborah Ann Cox, and appointing Cox executor. Appellants principal argument is that the document is not a valid holographic will under Probate Code section 6111 because it is not signed by the decedent. Appellant also argues that the document is not a valid because it does not completely dispose of the decedents assets and because it lacks language demonstrating testamentary intent. Our review of the law regarding holographic wills and the evidence in this case supports the trial courts finding that the document admitted to probate is a valid holographic will. Court therefore affirm the orders.
