Holding
The court held that a no-contest clause that also functioned as a disinheritance provision was facially sufficient to demonstrate an intent to omit pretermitted heirs, but that extrinsic evidence was properly admitted to prove that, in reality, the testators had no such intent, and that the trial court's finding that the grandchildren were not intentionally disinherited was supported by substantial evidence.
