California Court of Appeal March 3, 2011, No. B220317 (Gularte v. Pradia)

Opinion

GILBERT, P. J.

At one time the Probate Code appeared to refute the dictum, “Nothing endures but change.” Not anymore.

A purported will is not executed in compliance with Probate Code requirements because it lacks witnesses’ signatures. We conclude the will is *239valid because the trial court found by clear and convincing evidence that the testator who signed it intended it to be his will.
