Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My grandfather recently passed away, the will he created did not grant any money to person A. However person A made a handwritten note that granted him/her money and my grandfather signed it. Person A is the executor of the will. I do not believe any other witnesses (besides person A and my grandfather) were present during the creation/signing of the separate note. I am asking if this separate note is legal and if it will ruin the previously created will.

Hard to say without looking at both documents. With that said, there does appear to be suspicious activity and Person A may not be disqualified from receiving anything from your grandfathers will.
