Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

I just received a copy of my Grandmother's will and noticed that some of the intitials that were signed on the bottom of each page are not her signatures/initials. In other words, someone else initialed the pages. Another family member said that the executor of the will had POA and was able to initial her will for her. Is this true?

No. In order for a will to be valid, the testator must have capacity. However, if the signature is valid, then the will may be ok. The judge will decide if the will is valid or not, but this issue should be brought to the judge's attention.
