Re: holographic will
Your message is not entirely clear. I do understand that your mother left a Will and that she owned property. If your mother was the joint owner of property with someone else and that other person has not died, the other person would acquire full ownership of the joint property. The Will cannot change that. The Will would leave to the beneficiaries named in the Will whatever property your mother owned in her individual name.
