1. A few days after Rose Dobson died, Rose's eldest daughter found a handwritten
will in a family Bible in Rose's home. Also written on the will were notes made
by David Clift, a trust officer at her bank. Mr. Clift testified that he could not
remember the exact conversation he had with Rose but that those were his notes
on her will and he never writes on a person's will without their consent. Rose's
children by another marriage contended that the will was invalid and that she
died intestate. The general rule is that in order for a holographic will to be given
effect under the law, it must be entirely in the handwriting of the deceased. The
natural children claimed that the notations made were immaterial and that the
will should be given its legal effect. Should the will be admitted to probate? Ex-
plain. [Matter of Estate of Dobson, 708 P. 2d 422 (Wyo. 1985)]
