1Opinion of the Court

DUNN, Chief Justice.

Appeal No. 11576 is a will contest. Contestants appeal from a judgment and order admitting the will of Richard T. Evans, dated April 19, 1972, to probate, alleging (1) that the court erred by shifting the burden of showing testamentary capacity from the proponent, William E. Maynard, to the contestants, Roland H. and Rosella Jones; (2) that the court erred in finding that the testator had the requisite testamentary capacity on April 19, 1972; and (3) that the court erred in not finding that the contested will was the product of undue influence. We affirm.
