In Re Estate of Graves
South Dakota Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
RENTTO, Presiding Judge.
The question involved in this appeal is whether a handwritten document consisting of five pages is the last will and testament of Mary Ethelyn Graves. It was admitted to probate by the County Court of Davison County over the objection of several of her heirs at law that it was not a valid olographic will. The contestants appealed to the circuit court on questions of both law and fact. That court held that it was not entitled to probate and set aside the order of the county court and remanded the matter for further proceedings. The proponents appeal from such judgment.
