Holding
The court held that the trial court erred in concluding there was no evidence as to the authorship of handwritten alterations on a formal will, and that if such alterations are found to be in the testator's handwriting, they may constitute a valid holographic codicil that incorporates by reference and republishes the unmodified portions of the underlying will.
