Gertrude A. Nass v. Mary Viola Nass

This is a will contest. Petitioner, Gertrude A. Nass, surviving sister of Frank J. Nass, deceased, filed an application in the County Court of Galveston County to probate an instrument dated March 28, 1945, as the last will and testament of Frank J. Nass. Respondent, Mary Viola Nass, surviving widow of the deceased, filed a contest, alleging that such will had been revoked by a subsequent instrument dated January 3, 1947. Thereafter respondent filed an application to probate the instrument of January 3, 1947, as the last will and testament of the decedent. This latter application was then contested by petitioner on the grounds of forgery, lack of testamentary capacity, and undue influence.
