IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF CHARLES S. JOHNSON, Deceased

Holding

The court held that a judicial adjudication of incompetency and the establishment of a guardianship constitute only prima facie evidence against testamentary capacity, that chronic drunkenness does not per se establish unsoundness of mind as a matter of law, and that a will's execution may be validated as a single transaction even if a witness learns the instrument's testamentary nature moments after signing.
