Mississippi Supreme Court

In Re the Matter of the Estate of Effie Mae Autry, Deceased: Steve Autry v. Marcus Autry, Stephanie Cooper, Micheal…

April 3, 2025

Summary

The court affirmed the chancery court's invalidation of the 2019 will and eight warranty deeds. It held that the will was not duly authenticated because the subscribing witnesses' affidavits omitted their addresses, and that Steve failed to rebut the presumption that the deeds resulted from undue influence. The case was remanded for any necessary proceedings concerning probate of the 2014 will.
