In Re Estate of Novotny
Court of Appeals of Minnesota
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
WOZNIAK, Judge.
Appellant Adeline Pecholt objected to admission of her mother’s will into probate, alleging that her mother lacked testamentary capacity, had been unduly influenced, and had made a mistake of fact about the extent of her estate. After a trial by the court, the probate court rejected appellant’s objections and admitted the will to probate. Appellant further claims the trial court erred in imposing a high burden of proof upon appellant, the contestant of the will, to show undue influence. Appellant did not raise the issue of mistake on appeal. We affirm.
