Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Brantlinger Will

May 25, 1965418 Pa. 236

Summary

The court affirmed admission of Nan Brantlinger's will to probate. It held that the two-witness rule requires proof of execution, not attesting-witness opinions affirming testamentary capacity, and that execution established a presumption of capacity that the contestant failed to overcome. The court also found no abuse of discretion in the capacity determination and no clear and convincing evidence of undue influence. No separate opinions were filed.
