Estate of Johnson

Opinion of the Court

The paper was entirely written by the deceased, and commenced thus: I, George W. Johnson, do make, etc., this my last will and testament,” etc. The paper was not subscribed at the foot, nor does the name appear except as above stated. On its face it appears to be otherwise a completed instrument.

By the Court:

The signature of the testator is not required to be placed at the foot of an olographic will. If it appear anywhere in the instrument it is sufficient.

Order admitting will to probate.
