This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Testator's will consisted of a pre-printed form, with portions filled in testator's handwriting. The will was not attested as required by the applicable statute. After testator's death, his son John was appointed personal representative of his estate. Two of the beneficiaries under the will (P) attempted to have it probated. The personal representative objected on the grounds that the will was not attested, and that it did not qualify as a holograph since its material provisions were not in the testator's handwriting. P argued that the will was a valid holograph. The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. The court granted the personal representative's motion and P appeals.
