YVONNE T. RODRIGUEZ, Justice

Carol Elam appeals a bénch trial order denying her application to probate the purported last will of her deceased father, Charles Joseph Kam. The will Carol submitted to the court completely disinherits her brother,' David' Kam. David asserts that the trial court correctly rejected the will offered by Carol because it was not properly executed and because it was the product of Carol’s undue influencé on Charles. He also argues that the trial court was justified in finding that Carol did not offer the will to probate in good faith.
