Nebraska Supreme Court voids handwritten will largely penned by man's partner
Nebraska's Supreme Court has ruled that a handwritten will was invalid because the main handwriting did not belong to the person who made it. The court upheld an earlier 1984 will that left assets to the deceased's sons. The decision stresses that a holographic will must be written entirely in the testator's own hand to show clear intent. The dispute arose after Douglas G. Todd died and his long-term partner pressed a competing claim. The ruling reinforces strict requirements for proving the authenticity of handwritten wills.
