In Re Estate of Jung
Court of Appeals of Arizona
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
KESSLER, Presiding Judge.
¶ 1 Marc Jung (“Marc”) appeals the superior court’s decision denying probate of a codicil to the will of his father, Bernard Jung (“Bernard”). The court ruled that it could not determine when Marc signed the codicil as a witness and that if he signed the document after the decedent’s death the codicil would not be a valid testamentary document. Because we determine that Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”) section 14-2502 (1995) does not preclude a witness from signing a testamentary document after the testator has died, we reverse and remand.
