Q: So if the simple will Islas been altered from its original state which you have a hard copy to prove that and the pages
And the testers signiture is at top of page and part that says
In wittness wherefore ,,,,,,, is on the previous page no numbers on pages and lines fill in parts are not initialed is the Will considered in valid
A: As a practical matter, I would try to locate the attorney who originally drafted the Will and supervised the execution of the Will. The attorney will know if the Will is valid. However, if the Will does not look professionally drafted, and it looks like there may have been hanky-panky going on with the documents, then perhaps the Will is too problematic to be "admitted" to probate. I would definitely have a seasoned probate attorney examine the Will and advise you accordingly.
