Last Will & Testament of Massingale v. Young

CARLTON, J.,

FOR THE COURT:

¶1. Haruhiko Murakami appeals the Clarke County Chancery Court’s grant of summary judgment to Janice Young, Jennifer Eakes, and Justin Massingale (collectively, the Appellees). The chancellor found that an additional page added to Johanna Massingale’s will after the will’s execution failed to meet the statutory requirements of a valid codicil or holographic will. 1 In addition, the chancellor found that Johanna’s will failed to incorporate by reference the additional page. Finding no error in the chancellor’s grant of summary judgment to the Appellees, we affirm.
