1Opinion of the Court

WAHL, Justice.

This appeal arises out of respondent Mary Serbus’ objection to the probate of the will of her husband, James J. Serbus. Mary Serbus seeks to set aside an antenuptial agreement between James and herself and to revoke her consent to James’ will. The Probate Division of Renville County Court ruled in Mary’s favor.
