Re: Is 1991 will gooc or revoked by excuting will for others.
If the 1997 codicil was not properly witnessed, it sounds like from the facts presented that the 1991 will was the last properly executed will, and should control. This also assumes the witnessess of the 1998 will can testify about the improper acknowledgement. Please contact my office if you have further questions.
