Holding
The court held that the trial court erred in its construction of an olographic will by failing to recognize the testatrix’s clear intent to name her husband as the primary residuary legatee, and further erred by admitting extrinsic evidence of the couple’s marital discord to contradict the will’s unambiguous language.
