Holding
The court held that a holographic will executed in 1972 did not revoke a prior typewritten will from 1969, as the two instruments were not wholly inconsistent; that the trial court properly construed both wills together as a single testamentary scheme; and that the grandchildren of the decedent were not pretermitted heirs because the 1969 will contained an express, intentional disinheritance clause.
