Knupp Will
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

*421Dissenting Opinion by
Mr. Justice Egberts:
The facts of this case convince me that the distinction drawn by this Court between Churchill’s Estate, 260 Pa. 94, 103 Atl. 533 (1918) and Miller Will, 414 Pa. 385, 200 A. 2d 284 (1964), a distinction based solely upon the fact that the word “his” appeared in the attestation clause in Churchill, whereas the word “my” was used in Miller, is no longer tenable. I would therefore overrule Churchill, as well as Glace Will, 413 Pa. 91, 196 A. 2d 297 (1964) (which relies on Churchill), insofar as those cases require use of the word “my” in an attestation…
