OPINION
Opinion by Chief Justice MORRISS.
Patricia Raye Halbert died in 2000. She left behind three putative wills 1 and her immediate family — husband, Robert L. Halbert (Robert), and three adult children, Robert Stephen Halbert (Steve), Judith H. Trickey Box (Judy), and Patti Jane H. Carroll (Jane) — divided on which of the three wills should be probated. Robert urged the probate of Will Three, while Judy urged the probate of Will Two. Ultimately, the dispute led to a mediation and a partial Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA), 2 which is the subject of this appeal.
