In Re: Estate of Donald Lee Keith

This is a will contest. Freddie A. Johnson and wife, Marie Johnson ("the grandparents"), filed a petition to probate the holographic will of their grandson, Donald Lee (D.J.) Keith, Jr. ("the decedent"). The decedent's widow, Alexis Keith ("the wife"), and his minor daughter, Kassce Mae-Kyle Keith ("the minor child"), contested the alleged will, arguing that it did not constitute a valid holographic will. The trial court granted the motion for summary judgment filed by the wife and the minor child, holding that the document under contest was not a last will and testament. The grandparents appeal, contending that summary judgment is not appropriate. We vacate the trial court's judgment and remand for further proceedings.
