Helen Levell Orrell v. Iva Dell Cochran

HOWARD M. FENDER, CHIEF JUSTICE This case raises the issue of when a will has been properly executed. The trial court admitted into probate the instrument in question in spite of the fact that there was some irregularity regarding the placement of the decedent's and notary public's signatures. Appellant argues that it was error to admit the will into probate because she contends the instrument had not been executed in accordance with TEX. PROB. CODE ANN. sec. 59 (Vernon 1980).
