Description

Chief Justice Cornelius OPINION In this will contest, Charles Neville and Paulette Knapp appeal from the trial court's judgment which held that Verdie Neville did not have testamentary capacity on July 9, 1998, at the time she signed a will, and ordered that a will Verdie Neville executed in 1992 should be admitted to probate instead of her 1998 will. Charles Neville and Knapp contend that the evidence is factually and legally insufficient to support the trial court's finding that Verdie Neville lacked testamentary capacity when she executed the will of July 9, 1998. In order to make a valid will, Verdie Neville must have been of sound mind when she signed the will. See Tex. Prob. Code Ann. § 88(b)(1) (Vernon 1980). Texas courts define the term ""sound mind"" to mean ""testamentary capacity.""
