Outcome

The court affirmed the trial court's decision to revoke the 1993 testamentary instruments based on testator's incapacity and undue influence, but reversed the determination that the estate was intestate, holding that the 1978 will was not invalidated by the revocation clause in the incompetently executed 1993 will and remanding for proper proceedings on the 1978 will's validity.
